Ceiling Cat at the Aerie

We have our own Ceiling Cat at the Aerie.

Shadow's Spot

Shadow has taken to lurking and napping atop the pantry cupboard. There she can avoid Chester's inquisitive nature and often roguish behavior.

And sometimes she gets up on the main support beam for the second floor and peers down upon us mere mortals.

(Okay, she’s not really a Ceiling Cat. That’s the floor for the second floor that’s above her head, although it also serves as the ceiling for the first floor. And she has the color more suitable to a Basement Cat. Neither of the other cats go up there anymore. Chester may not be able to jump high enough—the tub of lard! And Julie has not sought the heights since spring time. )

She's beautiful! It's funny how cats always like high places -either for pouncing or hiding. Cute picture!

And she's the one least likely to climb into your lap. Oh, she'll demand and even beg for your attention and let you pick her up in your arms while you scratch/rub her ears and chin but when she's had enough she'll let you know and off she goes. And don't even think about sitting down while you're holding her--that's a big no-no.

The other two think your lap just might be heaven. It certainly would be for Chester if there were a constant source of snacks available.
