I used to live in a studio building that once was a coffin factory (yes, I will admit to contravening the zoning bi-laws by living there - along with everyone else). People said I must have had the show-room because I had nice floors. It was mostly a big open space. When my cat William was a youngster, he used to show off by leaping from a standing start up to this door-frame, where he'd sit until I noticed him and acknowledged his athletic prowess. Willie is still in great shape - he must be 12 or 13 now, but he doesn't do the spectacular direct jumps anymore, prefering to bounce off a chair or counter on the way up.
