The Further Adventures of Odin the tree climbing cat continue from our post yesterday.
When we last saw Odin he’d climbed to the top of a magnolia tree. After enjoying the view, he appeared to lose his balance, or did he?
Odin, come down!
Just a minute mom, I’m busy admiring my killer claws.
Oh, mom relax, I’m not falling. My paws are like Velcro. This is another reason why cats need their claws.
SEE, IT’S A PIECE OF CAKE. I COULD BE IN CIRQUE DE SOLEIL!
To show you I’m not falling, I’ll play with my tail!
Down? Oh, alright. There’s that other tree I want to climb and it’s much higher where I can leap onto the neighbor’s roof.
Happy now? Ew, can you make this snow go away? It’s cold and makes my jelly bean toes an unmanly shade of pink.
A good warm lick and I’m ready for my next adventure. Care to join me?
Ellie Mae wanted me to pass along that she thinks Odin is very handsome on his adventures. She wishes for spring too………..
Thanks, I hope Ellie Mae liked Odin’s valentine to her.
What an extraordinary gymnastic routine. But was he checking out the Pussy Willows to see if Spring was coming?
You showed her, didn’t you, Odin? We laughed when you started to play with your tail, just to make your point.
Yes, MMM does stay out and away from the whapping wars. She doesn’t like them. I almost made a point of mentioning it in both Fridays & today’s post. She’s a lover, not a whapper.
You are having such fun in the tree Odin. I think I would prefer to stay up there for a while rather than come down and get cold toesies.
What an acrobat! You know cats can only climb down backwards. Of course, you do! You’re Odin’s human!
Odin starts down but swivels around to shimmy down, turns around again for a final jump.
Odin you are a wonder to watch!
We knew our Odin could handle it! He is our Hero!!!!!
Luvs Skeeter and Izzy and the Feral Gang + Twig and Peanut and Romeo >^..^<
LOL, his pink ears are burning with pride!
Gorgeous pictures of beautiful blue sky and Odin in action! He sure can perform for Cirque de Soleil! I love the pink jelly beans 🙂
What goes up must lay down!
Oohhh… I just HATE comin’ down a tree after climbin’ up it. Comin’ down always seems so scary to me. You are one brave kitty, Odin, and an EXCELLENT climber, for sure!
Purrs,
Nissy
What a fun adventure.
Odin, you make it all look so easy up there!
You are my hero, Odin! Such derring do. Such panache! 🙂
He`s so funny! I`ve heard if they can get up they can get down. Now I don`t know if that is true, but I think Odin can go anywhere his big heart leads him! Or he does things like this to get Mom going! lol
It is true but it’s more difficult coming down. The cats stuck in trees get scared but eventually most come down but it’s easier to help. Odin is unusually athletic and that’s from practice LOL
Odin you are a risk taker my friend 🙂
Odin, that was fun to see you up the tree! The only thing that would be funner…is if we got to climb the tree too!
Odin you are quite the little monkey in the trees my friend!! Those jelly bean toes MUST have been chilled though in that snow – no wonder you climbed up OUT of the snow into the sun for a while!
Hugs, Sammy
Odin, you can play with your tail while sitting on a tree? That’s brilliant! Have a super sunday
He he, we were almost right yesterday… Cute pink toesies Odin ! Purrs
Odin is amazing and so confident, much more than I would be as Mom! He is an expurrt though obviously as shown in your fabulous photos.
Purrs of thanks.
Odin is such an adventurer!
Thanks, seriously I no longer worry about him and every time is different. He’s truly the most amazing tree climber I’ve ever seen.
The insouciant tail lick said it all! LOVE the toe splay, it looks like it feels so good.
He’s such a show off!
I knew he’d make it. I’ve never seen such a detailed, step-by-step guide as to how a cat actually does this!! amazing and thank you.
