Bandit is usually pretty good about not getting on counters and tables but sometimes he does this, and just stares at me while I scold him.

If you don't want him to go up there, buy a really expensive cat bed and put it up there for him. He will probably never jump up there again

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

The cat is exactly where they’re meant to be: watching high above their kingdom.

When my cat goes up there, I say, "everything the light touches is our kingdom."

[–] itsdavetho@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Yes he is leave him alone

You believe he's not supposed to be up there. Bandit clearly has other thoughts on the subject.

I presume you mean the giraffe. The cat is exactly where he should be.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

He's the one who decides what he's supposed to be.

Bandit, an unusual name for a giraffe.

[–] Chiyo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

My cat would live up there. We have a curio cabinet by the front door and the top of it is her spot. She likes to hang out there, silently judging us and chases the shadows from the nearby window.

He wouldnt be there if he wasnt supposed to smh

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If he wasn't supposed to be there you would have gotten cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling or no way to get up there. Now he has a way up there and is those supposed to be there.

I'd be worried for the giraffe tumbling down by a paw.

[–] jaamesbaxterr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff with him or his older brother too much. It's the youngest one that paws at stuff, he's very curious but thankfully hasn't figured out how to get up there.

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

He's just reminding you of what you already know to be true: He is the overlord and your powers are useless here.

He makes a gorgeous little grotesque, but I would probably try to block the jump up there, it would be difficult to get him down in an emergency.

SAVE BANDIT!

[–] gaybear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

do you think it will be okay if you tell him to get down

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jaaaaaaames Baxter!
