Thursday Thirteen - The Bathroom Door: PART 3



This is part 3 of my three part Thursday Thirteen! I can't tell you how hards it's been to make sure I get it up each week as I've been having trouble with my Internet connection at home and at work! But I made it! I haven't been able to post anything else, but at least I've got this up each week (fingers crossed for this week!).


Ok, so here it is. It all started with
Starbuck on top of my bathroom door.



Contemplating whether or not to jump across
or the shower curtain rail or jump down.



He did neither! He managed an acrobatic feat across!


Well... sad to say,
I missed his jump down from the
shower curtain rail, but I did
catch him after he had made it down!


At first he seemed to want to go back up the shower curtain!



But soon he found other things to grab his interest!


Mum had different ideas and decided to him him a hug instead!
So, this week I only had 7 photos for my photo T13. So, here are a few more things I hate and love about Starbuck and his jumping.

8. He loves being up high, but will always jump down if I come into the room.

9. He never jumps on people! Thank goodness!

10. My furniture is relatively scratch free, even though I have three cats; however, the tops of my doors are very scratched up! I rent, so this could work against me when I move out (unless the government inspectors don't look up=)

11. To get on top on the doors (or other high areas including tops of cupboards, cabinets etc.) Starbuck will usually jump from an adjacent higher area i.e. a table, large vase. If nothing is available, he will use the door handle as leverage.

12. It's not always a clean jump - there are times he is hanging on to the tops of doors with his front paws. He somehow pulls his body up (great upper body strength *ha ha*).

13. Only Starbuck climbs doors. Torrey and Sebastian are quite happy to stay on earth with the rest of us!

Thursday Thirteen - The Bathroom Door: PART 2

.

And the story continues! Starbuck was on top of the bathroom door, contemplating whether or not to jump! Well... he didn't! He gingerly manoevered a paw over the expanse to the wall to investigate further!


Hmm... didn't like the wall...maybe the
shower curtain rod? Is he going to jump?


Nope... No jump.But he does commit two paws to
the rail & wonders what's on the other side!

Contemplating whether or not to jump down or keep going!

Shot from the side as he balances on a swinging door!


Shot from underneath. Still balancing!

Taking his sweet time deciding what to do!
Checking out his other options!

All the while, the door is actually
swinging with his back legs on it!


Yay! He commits to the shower curtain rail!
Not a jump, but an acrobatic feat instead!


Wow! He didn't realize there wasn't
anything on the other side and almost
swings 360 degrees around the rail!


Whew... he finds his balance on the showerhead.

And then looks quite proud of himself!

Part 3 coming next week!

After the big jump turned acrobatic feat!

Thursday Thirteen - The Bathroom Door: PART 1

.
I was lucky enough to walk in on Starbuck trying to make his way from the bathroom door over to the showerecurtain rail and so I grabbed my camera and managed to catch the whole thing on film (well, SD card!). Here are the first 13 pictures taken on top of the door and so I thought they would make a great Thursday Thirteen!



Relaxing

Checking out the bathroom

Trying to walk to the very edge of the door!

Taking a walk

Checking out the ceiling (which needs serious repainting!)

Sniffing around to see if there's anything good to eat!

Hmm.... what's that? Is that a shower curtain rail over there?

Hmm... contemplating whether or not to jump!

Or possibly jump into the sink...

Or maybe just jump back down?

Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Any other choices?

Definitely the curtain rail! Here goes!

Part 2 coming soon! The jump!
