All *kinds* of things disturbed me, but i still laughed so hard
i could barely breathe.

And that beautiful little gray one, coming under the door!!!

Would a paralyzed cat would have enough muscle control to
hike his back legs up in the air that way? I guess, if the
injury/cause was far enough down, then maybe so - and bravo
to the little guy! GREAT compensation he's taught himself.
That still qualifies it as a happy video, for me.

A couple brought back memories of my poor old wacko darlin'
who was never exactly agile. We made fun of him when he tried
to go tearing up the stairs, but hit the riser and shook his head
like he saw stars. He really was fine, just not exactly a
Great Wallenda. But a couple years later, i remember mocking
him as he miscalculated the distance to the couch arm. Thought
it was his usual clumsiness. Then we came home one evening
and he was weaving across the floor, changing direction when
his whiskers touched anything. His blood pressure had shot up
and detached his retinas. Got him on meds pronto and they
partially reattached, but i still tear up when i think about. My
sweet old Bogus.

But i did nearly fall off my *own* chair, watching this video!
WELL worth 15 minutes of buffering (for others stuck with the
delights of dial-up)!
