Sound on to hear her statements. As always with German translation

Ton an, um ihre Kommentare zu hören.

1st act: First inspection of the new way up. She isn’t too happy about the fact that she cannot directly jump from climbing position onto the board as she was used to in my old apartment

Erster Akt: Erstinspektion des neuen Weges nach oben. Sie ist nicht ganz zufrieden damit, dass sie nicht direkt aus der Kletterposition auf das Brett springen kann, wie sie es in meiner alten Wohnung gewohnt war

2nd act: She learns she can misuse the new way up as a lazy way down

Zwoter Akt: Sie lernt, dass sie den neuen Aufweg auch als faulen Weg nach unten missbrauchen kann

3rd act: She now always uses the lazy way down

Dritter Akt: Sie nutzt nun ausschließlich den faulen Weg runter

4th act: I set up a longer pole, both to accomodate her desire for jumping from pole to board as well as prevent her from being too lazy. She is VERY unhappy about the latter fact. Betrayal!

Vierter Akt: Ich habe einen längeren Pfosten angebracht. Zum einen, damit sie ihren gewohnten schnelleren Sprung nach oben nehmen kann. Zum anderen, um sie davon abzuhalten zu faul zu werden. Letzteres missfällt ihr SEHR. Betrug!

5th act: Begrudgingly she takes the longer way down

Fünfter Akt: Mosernd nimmt sie den langen Weg nach unten

6th act: She now understands the positive aspect of the change

Sechster Akt: Sie versteht nun die positive Seite der Änderung

    I feel like those wall supports on the pole are prime for some kind of cat shelf. Complete with plants and vases and stuff to knock off.

    (too bad it’d probably get in the way of using the pole.)

      I was actually considering this, but only at the very top of the first post as an easy access to a then attached round hammock. Your comment in brackets is exactly the reason why I didn’t do it. I now attached the hammock to the board on the other side

        Oh, I’m sure there’s other places to put things that can be knocked down for Miez’s amusement.

        The shelf run looks nice! (and Meiz is stunning.)

          She’s actually not one of those cats. She even tries to jump down with some toys in her mouth instead of just knocking them down.

          Thanks, they’re actually not finished yet. I wanna round the edges and oil them. I love the red color of the beech that comes out then. (and I’ll cuddle her from you)

            It’s always nice when the cats are polite like that!
