Just when you think you know all their perches you find out that you don't. I don't know how Trouble vaults up to this small window ledge but cats have springs in their legs and rarely miss their mark.

He probably took off from the toilet seat. Now, he knows his odds of missing the toilet seat rim are good...so his is contemplating a jump to the ground...it looks higher than he thought

Remember now that you KNOW..leave the cover down on the john so Trouble isn't obstructed
on his way to his other perch

Seat down, cover up - I live with a girl for over 38 years now and I once read a book about how girls pee (it had good photos and diagrams that even I could understand).

The bride only sat on a wet toilet seat once and that was decades ago.

I'm sure your wife would "understand if you explained Trouble's predicament.

BTW...did you see how he got down to the ground?

Yes I did. He just jumped and landed lightly upon his padded feet.

I also saw get him back up there later on - he leaped like "sideways" a bit and turned his body in the air to catch the window sill with all his claws out.

Sure...with those big back feet...looks like a "jackrabbit"...alot of power and spring
Most cats are athletic, but Trouble particularly so. He'd definately be "all-state"
Probably play "tight end"
