So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?

Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD

    I once stepped directly in the middle of my cats back walking down stairs. Instead of putting my weight down I fell backward, landing on my elbow a couple stairs down. All my weight. It took months to be able to lean on my elbow without pain. Pretty sure it was fractured.

      Mine also try to kill me on the stairs. As soon as I start to walk up, they run up a few stairs ahead of me and then stop like assholes. Especially in the dark. Thankfully they don’t hang out on the stairs at other times so I know its going to happen because I hear them.

      I’ve started walking up them very slowly, so now they continue the game in the hallways and are guaranteed to get kicked at least once, at which point I say “by now you know I can’t see in the dark, you deserved that.” Rather than rewarding them with apology attention.

      Your cat will respect that, once she gets over being pissed at your not noticing her camouflaged on the stair. Because how dare you.
