There are many things that one might consider to be 'classically cat'. You have hissing, staring into blank space as if there is something there, sitting with their jaw slack and letting their tongue slide out.

But one quality certainly jumps out amongst the rest, and that is the quality we have based this list on today. It is of course their penchant for climbing curtains and sitting atop their rod to survey the kingdom over which they rule. Which means that without meaning to us hoomans have provided them with the purrfect red carpet equivalent leading tot their royal perch. Just one more of the many ways in which just by living a hooman life we are providing play opportunities for our cat children. May their silly antics and wild tendencies give us the hilarious moments they create for many more millennia. And if you are still hankering for more feline tomfoolery, then check out this list of culinary cattos.

Young, light enough to not rip the curtains as she climbs, she is destined to be the next ninja warrior. Or failing that, the princess of the curtain rod. From her lofty position, she will survey and judge all that lies below her. So don’t walk with your head to the floor, there is danger from above in this house.

The modern convenience of double or triple glazed windows means that in many homes, curtains are no longer a thing. So without a curtain to climb, this clever catto has found a replacement. Shame that it will not be there after the next person showers…
