English/German as always

A few days ago she tried the jump to the left for the first time:

Miez zeigt ihre Akrobatik-Künste. Vor ein paar Tagen hat sie den Sprung nach links zum ersten Mal gewagt:

Now she already skips the lower post on the jump back:

Nun überspringt sie schon den unteren Pfosten auf dem Rückweg:

Did you guys see that cardboard box! Holy guacamole! Where did you get that? I've only seen those at Costco and usually are luxury items. Perfect motivator. Of all the fancy cat things, the goal is the all mighty cardboard box.

Milk comes in those boxes in supermarkets here, it holds 12 tetra packs of a liter each.

Milk! Of course! That's the secret!

O wow, those are some nice acrobatic skills! Cool setup you've created! Miez is cute as heck. Is she a Maine Coone?

[–] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Thanks. She is from a farm so the specific breed is unknown but there is definitely some maine coon in there.

Meize is a beautiful, spoiled kitty. I love it. And she deserves it!

Also, love the cat calculations when she goes from the post to the corner. lol.

I kept thinking “don’t do it, you’ll hit the ceiling” while she was planning, but she obviously knows her limits much better because she made it look easy

Nicely done

The last one I thought it wasn't going to make it

What do you think you're doing?! Videos on Lemmy are illegal!

[–] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems like I'm out of the loop, why would they be?

It's just a joke about how there's so little video posting on Lemmy and that some clients don't support it.
