Chick Jumped

Inge had put Chick on top of the closet in the bedroom - one of Chick's favorite spots because it's nice and warm up there and (on top of that) it is the perfect place for a small cat with a Napoleon complex - a rather big personality trapped in a rather small body.

The closet is quite high and I was curious to see how the Chick was going to come down. It seemed a good camera moment, too. So I got my camera and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Chick did not come down. On the contrary, she looked like she was never going to come down again. I called Inge and she tried to lure Chick into descent by hiding low behind the door and making interesting scratching noises. Chick was obviously intrigued - but she did not move. After a while we realized we were just entertaining her. I wouldn't put it past her that she knew the show would only last as long as she stayed up there.

I gave up. We left the bedroom, I took a shower and came back after 20 minutes or so. Now Chick was suddenly ready to jump down - on my left shoulder. I managed to take three pictures of her descent. Here they are.
