Do Your Cats Get High?

[katkuddler]

Ours do. They just love the feeling of being as high as they can get. Their favorite spot is on top a cardboard box that our new microwave (it's not new anymore) came in. It's actually higher than any of our window sills. They sort of take turns up there...king of the mountain type game. But the attraction is that the box is centrally located, so viewing from there is panoramic.

Oh yes, I believe my cats wished they had wings so they can go as high as they can and fly back down slowly. 

Since my cats are indoor/outdoor, they have conquered the highest tree in the garden and one of them (that I know of) has visited my neighbors' roof  on occasion.

This is why I have cat trees strategically placed around my house.

Lol when I clicked on this thread I assumed it was referring to catnip (which, what are the odds, both our estabkished resident and new rescue cat seem to be largely immune to)... But ours love being on top of the world too.

Because you mentioned catnip...how do you expose your cats to it? There might be a better way.

Our catnip attempts have been sprinkling some on a scratching triangle, soaking and rubbing a toy mouse in a ziploc with a bunch of fresh catnip, and once letting our resident eat actual living catnip plant. Our resident was 100% immune (zero reaction to any form of catnip) until about 2 years of age, and then she started to show a very weak reaction. Our newbie cat, 2 years old now, still shows zero reaction.

Funny you mention being "high", I just snapped this one of my double trouble earlier today...

Mine LOVE the cat condo, as well as the top of my entertainment center:

Yeah, I think most cats love to be high...

Have you tried just putting the catnip on a plate on the floor?
