Free Falling

Speaking of Theo and stairs... He finally found a way to get up on the ledge above the staircase up to the upper wing of the house. It's one of Diego's favorite spots to perch himself. One of the reasons it is, is because it's not a spot that either Thompson or Theo has an easy time getting up on. Diego can easily jump up on the ledge but Thompson and Theo have to first jump on a box or the cat tree nearby and then jump on the ledge. It's only about a three foot jump but the ledge itself is only about a half a foot wide so there isn't much room for error.

Unfortunately once up on the ledge Theo wanted to get to the other side- the other ledge up from the stairs. Before I could get over to him (all the while scolding him for what he was about to try) he jumped and didn't make it meaning he fell all the way down the stairs (about a 10 foot drop). He seems OK though- he was back up on the ledge later that same day.
