This cat of mine

He jumps on everything so far he's jumped
In the dishwasher, the sink, the refrigerator, any cabinet I open, the closet, the dryer, the shower, shelves, the bathtub, the toilet, and any random box in the house.
I give up

I once brought home a stray kitten. My mother was doing laundry, and suddenly she heard a thumping sound from the dryer...😰😰😰. The kitten had gotten inside and she didn't notice him. Thankfully he wasn't killed. We found a home for him VERY quickly after that.

@4meAndyou oh my I would never forgive myself if that happened. I do like the cat. He and Sissy are bonded already. I'm just having a hard time with him jumping on or in every lol. But I just pick him up and tell him no and he just jumps right back up there. Than I tell sissy to come get her cat

@Cigarguy Well, there's no controlling it...and here's why:

"Instinctual Behavior: Jumping is a natural instinct for cats, stemming from their predatory nature. They often jump to explore their environment and catch prey.

Curiosity: Cats are naturally curious creatures, and jumping allows them to investigate and learn about their surroundings.

Playfulness: Many cats engage in playful behaviors, including jumping, to interact with their owners and seek attention.

Safety and Comfort: Being in high places can provide a sense of security and comfort for cats, mimicking their natural hunting behavior.

Physical Exercise: Jumping is also a form of exercise that helps cats burn off energy and maintain their health.


Understanding these behaviors can help cat owners better appreciate their feline companions and provide them with safe and stimulating environments."

@Cigarguy Yes...and did you notice that sometimes, a young cat or older kitten will jump up in order to get your attention? I suspect he LIKES you.
