Here he is, Quint, on the short wall overlooking the abyss some twenty feet down to a very hard floor. Why is he doing this? He knows this is forbidden behavior, that Mom’s going to have a heart attack if she sees him here, that Dad will yell at him to, “Get down and right this minute, young man!”
Does this willful cat get down right this minute?
No, the willful cat does not. He looks for an exit. Not the safe floor right behind him. No, he looks down the banister, longingly. Don’t do it, Quint. Don’t do it.
Does he stop there?
Nope. This ManCat thinks perhaps the banister might just be the best route down. After all, his sister, Tessa, a.k.a. Danger Cat, has surfed down it a time or two (resulting in emergency room visits and X-rays, we’ll add), so all should be a go, right?
QUINT! GET DOWN NOW!
Geez, calm down. I wasn’t really going to do it. I was just . . . thinking of the possibilities, you know, for future reference. Don’t get all upset. Meow.
You’re skirting the edges of getting yourself grounded for the rest of the summer, young man. You know better. Do not do this again.

MOL! Us cats like to do anything the humans don’t want us to do.

The Florida Furkids
Quint, do you really want to freak out your peeps that way?
When CB crawled into a second floor window with a very unstable screen, my grabby hands pulled him outta there, and got a hiss for the effort!
The Hubby has been given orders to secure that location.

You don’t want to end up with a vet visit, Quint. Behave yourself!
MOL! Humans freak out over really silly things. I know you have it all under control up there, Quint.
Quint, you’re giving us all palpitations, dude!
Willful cat … is there any other kind?! We joke that Bear is grounded for the rest of his nine lives … but he likes to remind me that I can’t stop him from doing anything that he wants to do.
Cats gotta do their own thing. . .
