Cat-O-Lympics - Bird Watching

Today, Tanner will compete in the Bird Watching event hosted by The Furry Bambinos.
It starts out innocently enough, with Tanner watching a bird on the feeder outside the window.
He's intently staring wondering how he can get out there to catch that bird, while maintaining his high comfort needs by staying on the chair.
Well, this certainly gets him a bit closer to the bird. Notice the tail action in this shot. Please ignore the sagging belly and focus on the tocks and his long muscular legs.
Still staring with superb concentration that only an expert bird watcher can master.

Cuteness is an added bonus...
Since we are bird watching, here's a Carolina Blue Bird taking a bath on a hot summer day.

Cat-O-Lympics - Extreme Climbing

Extreme Climbing Competition - Sponsored by Amy at the House of Cats.
Smokey is approaching the super tall ladder and trying to decide the best method to climb it...This is not for the faint of heart folks.

He makes it almost to the top and performs a spin maneuver to get into a better position. Not sure if showing your tocks to the judges will help or hurt!

Over on the last step before the top, Smokey pauses long enough for the media to get some nice shots of his epic climb.

At last...he's all the way on the top!! He made it...I didn't know if he would go all the way or not. Smokey might even change the light bulb while he's up there...

Well, there you have it folks, Extreme Climbing from an extremely courageous cat!

Cat-O-Lympics - Balance Beam

Tanner, waiting for the signal from the judges to begin...
