She really wants to catch the dangly chord on the phone. Really really wants to but she can't quite jump high enough (yet).

She launches herself from the floor although she'd probably get at it easier by jumping from the radiator.

I'm 5'6" and the phone is at face height for me so she's jumping quite high.

Edit: I left the chair in there and the pole (which is a part of a bookshelf) to try give a sense of scale since I'm illustrating the athletics of the cat. From a pure composition point of view the photo would be better with them cropped/cloned out and I considered doing that but decided on leaving them in.

well, since you explained it, I won't comment about the background :-)

A nicely captured action shot.
Well done.

I think Nikita is going to keep you on your toes...I used to have a cat once that would jump at least 5ft to grap a ribbon dangling from a helium balloon. it was her favorite toy. I would always have a balloon floating around my house for Sera to jump....

Do me a favor, get one for Nikita....(make sure it is the Mylar type not a latex)

It looks like the cat is standing in the corner.

She almost looks like she's climbing the wall! Which may be the next thing she tries ;-) Good catch.

Your cat will get their soon. She looks like the same type of cat as Missy and Suzy, and I'm sure they could attack the cord with a jump from the ground.

I reckon I'd crop the pole and the chair out of this photo for clarity.
