Because Sylvie the kitteh might attack your brains.
Here is Sylvie as a junior kitteh, starting with Her First Door Jamb®
Then, she graduated to shower door lounging...
And then, hanging out on the fixtures! [Paws singe-ing sounds] ssssssssss
Oh, and don't miss teeny paw reflection in the mirror ;)
Um, Sylvie? You're making me a SKOOOSH nervous sittin' up thar. How about coming down and staying a while?
Holy balancing, Kathryn JW B.!

Mmmm... warm kitty belly from the lightbulb
Oh My!
How does she get up thar?!
She almost didn't look real in the first pic until I saw the blur of the moving paw.
I have a kitty who looks and acts almost identical to this one (but mine has a black nose and licorice paw-pads)!
LOL! this cat is incredible... someone needs to join cirque du soleil
And next on the balance beam.....it's Sylvie!!! she gets a 10 for techincal and an 11 for style
omg, those are some crazy pics. I'd be scared that the kitty would fall down. That's once amazing balancing act.
Looks like Bat-Kitteh
The light bulb pic looks a little sinister.
"Got a prob, bub?"
Our Tuxie was a percher.
I am impressed with teh light fixture. Bet he doesn't stay long, lightws get *hot*
How do they get up there? maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggic
That *cannot* be comfortable.
He's obviously looking for ceiling cat! Maybe to take over his job...
"...and when ze fooleesh bipeds pass beeneath, I shall POUNCE!"
I'll bet he stays on that light to make sure you wash your hands after going to the bathroom, or else he jumps you!
Paw reflection for the win!
The veiw is pretty decent from up there...
Yes, she is definitely working on replacing celing cat. She looks very menacing... like she is a spy for some bizarre foreign government. But I love the paws in the mirror
Sylvie looks fairly horrified by human behavior in that last shot.
Did a guest take off their jacket to reveal a horrific plaid sports jacket? Is Mom about to leave the house in her fluorescent mumu?
OK, it looks like someone has *placed* the cat in those positions and the cat would really like nothing better than to get down.
Natural animal cuteness = cute. Photographing animals in uncomfortable positions for amusement = not so cute.
So this one gets a thumbs-down from me.
Shower cat is watching you ______________.
"Spider-cat! Spider-cat! Friendly neighborhood Spider-cat!"
That's some impressive balancing there...
Tree toad + feline = Sylvie

How on earth could you get a cat up on top of a door, AND get it to stay up there long enough to take a picture unless it wanted to?
FEnM -- CAT GLUE!!!
Now with Cruelty Crystals™
I think the cat was there because it wanted to be there. Anybody who has cats *cough*cough* NOT APU *cough*cough* KNOWS that you can't make them do anything. This cat just likes to be supervising all of it's people. SWEET light sitting pic bwt.
I'm in ur doorjamb, plannin ur attack....
cats are strange.
In the final picture especially, Sylvie seems to be looking for someone: is it Bruno?
OMG, that cat is hilarious! I love it when cats do quirky things like that. That light fixture perching is especially hilarious!
Is Sylvie a snowshoe cat? Is that the same as a tuxie? She is lovely nonetheless, and quite talented.
Love the vulturous light fixture perching. Sylvia looks extra pleased with herself. Good view, hot belly.
Trust me, Apu, there is a certain type of cat that requires no placement, and who cannot be dissuaded by any means. My Flanny is door-percher, and a shower wall percher, and once, just once, she was a ceiling fan lunger, clinger, and faller. I tried to explain how you can't get on the fan while it's moving, but she didn't believe me.
Go ahead and see my alien door cat:

I really like the word "vulturous", RedZ.
Wow, that's one impressive kitty.
Redz, shouldn't that be "*naked* alien door cat"?
Love Redz' gargoyle AND Mlle Sylvie Aloftipuss. Some of 'em just like to supervise from on high.
He looks so warm and comfurbuls on the light. I imagine it's something like the light on my dining room ceiling fan, it just gets toasty warm to the touch.
Teeny paw reflection wins. Paws down.
Apu-
Actually, the kitty is looking more smug than bothered.
Don't assume these are owner-posed.
Some cats are just up-kitties.
The ones I've had were all tuxies too, though Siamese tend to like high places.
When we moved into our house, the first thing the Hencat did was jump up to the middle of a double hung window -- we'd shut the bottom half to keep her in (ha), but left the top down because it was a warm day.
Then she leaped across to the neighbor's roof (about eight feet across and maybe thirty down), and back again.
Landing on the window frame.
Nearly gave me heart failure.
She likes door tops too.
And the tops of bookcases, once she gets all of my stuff out from underfoot.
And targetted jumping into the dryer of the stackable unit.
(Okay, I'll never leave that open again either.)
My aunt's Siamese cat would visit us with her, and would lurk up on top of doors, then pounce on your back and run off (I swear) laughing.
I have a pix of my old Boycat (as in Boycat Safeway for selling non-union grapes, about an eternity ago, where someone was giving away kittens). He's lounging on his tummy, with his legs hanging over the edge of the trellis on the roof of the third floor porch.
Actually, the difficult part is to get your cat *down* from places that scare you.
They are fine until you mess with them, then if you are trying to grab them, you have a million claws of a very annoyed cat to deal with.
I always cheat and just break out the tuna below.
I can't imagine anyone being able to get a cat up in a place like this.
f337!
My tabby Macaroon gets up on top of an almost 7-foot-tall bookshelf (top surface area, 1 foot by 2 feet) and then starts *chasing her tail*. Hasn't fallen once. And protests when I try to take her down.
Slinky kitteh!
Yes, must agree, some cats are just perchers and like being high up. My cat Yammie is a percher of human shoulders. She would then proceed to jump onto something higher, like a door, if you happen to walk by one while she's perched on you. She's also very stealthy when it comes to other methods of getting up in weird places....like I always find her on top of my husband's closet, with the towels, although I've never seen her actually go up there. My other cats are non-jumpers and will cry to be let up where Yammie is if they want to be with her.
Wha? How the heck does she get up there? HighLarryUs!
I had a tuxedo girl and she loved being up high. I saw her atop a door more than once, by her own choice. She used to jump in the freezer when I'd open the door too. It's pretty crazy to think about some of the places they're able to get to, but they do it.
That there cat on high is going to jump down and keeeel me.
I am so askeeeeeerd.
I used to have a drop ceiling basement apartment and my little Ace found out how to sneak up into it. And bring back spiders the size of my hand.
But to this day at every apartment she gets as high as she can every day, looking for the secret way into the ceiling.
My little girl does this as well - I actually have shots of her asleep on top of the shower curtain.
It's always great entertainment when company comes over. The look of sheer terror on their faces when they suddenly have a cat perched on their shoulder - pure comedy gold!
I have a tux kitten girl who loves high places that don't look comfy. She just gravitates ... well... the wrong way. Her first conquest was the shoerack on the bedroom door, which led her to perch ON TOP of the door. Her next conquest was our coat tree, and heaven knows that's not comfortable.
I'm an ardent addict of CO and I've never commented before. Today I had a pretty rough day where everything seems to go just wrong. I got home and randomly opened up CO and saw this amazingly hilarious post and just burst out laughing!
THANK YOU for being the one positive thing that happened today:)
I shouldn't tell stories like this, but I will.
My husband and I were "cat sitting" for some friends of ours (3 cats, no waiting). The youngest cat, Ziggy, loved to jump up onto human shoulders. He often would cause teh ouch by using his claws to velcro himself in place and to avoid any slippage.
My husband, when he went over to check on the kitties, scoop their litter, etc, also stopped to use the bathroom at their house. He didn't close the door all the way and while he was urinating, Zippy slipped in and leapt on to his shoulder. The combination of the sneak attack and the claw use made my husband make a mess. (Good thing I've taught him well to clean up after himself....)
I had two rather fat cats who loved to get on top of the shower curtain rod. Of course, they were also lazy, so they would fall asleep. The crash-bang-screech that accompanied their falls was always a bit jarring but we let them do it anyway.
Some cats are just that crazy.
I have nothing constructive to add, I just wanted to comment on what a beautiful cat she is!
She's so cute! How does she balance? I've never seen a dog do that before!
