As a dog person, Martina, how likely do you think it is that the pooch got up there without human "assistance"?

 

[Caya]

That's a hunting dog, and going by those I knew, if an idea takes root in their single-minded brains, there's no stopping them. Saw one squeeze himself into a wicker basket belonging to (and sized for) a cat once just to spite said cat, so yes, I think the pooch above reached his position himself, with determination and patience (and possibly via the countertop to the right).

Come to think of it, I once watched a half-grown Great Dane try to squeeze through a cat door.  So OK!

I'm gonna guess that "he" is actually a "she," and the other cat likewise.  Tricolor cats are either females or (very rarely) XXY males.  Unless some cats are chimeras, that is -- where one non-identical littermate sort of incorporates another one at a very early stage of development, so that the resulting individual looks like a perfectly normal cat except that some portions of its anatomy came from the absorbed littermate.

Chimeras definitely occur in humans, though it's rare.  I read about a mother who needed legal proof that her daughter was indeed her child -- but the DNA test said she couldn't be!  Turned out the mother was a chimera, and her ovaries happened to have come from her erstwhile non-identical twin.

I can't post $#@$@%  a gif!

There is no politically correct greeting where I'm from, so screw it, Merry Christmas! For anyone who wants it. This is a good year for me, because I finally able to meet my loved ones and travel to them.

And regardless whatever happens, any year with them being safe and sound is a great year to me.

Merry Christmas y'all!

You've never had more than one cat at a time?

Not in the same box, no.  

[Carol the Dabbler]

Admittedly that picture could have been a wee bit photoshopped.

 

[Arcadia]

What? I'm shocked! Who would do such a thing?

We've got a hardwood floor here -- but none of our cats match it!

That cat would be great at hide and seek.

Maybe a little *too* good -- I'd be afraid of accidentally stepping on it!
