Does your cat climb a ladder?

[Beth76]

My new cat that we've had for about a week has been sleeping with my 6yo in his top bunk. I wasn't sure how she was getting up there. I figured she jumped from somewhere. When I went to get him up this morning I saw her actually climb up the ladder and onto the bed. And she helped me wake DS up. Oh this cat is such a sweetheart.

Yes it does!

When we get out the ladder to decorate the top of the Christmas tree, he always climbs to the top and perches there. He'll climb back down, too.

I think he thinks he's helping. Guess he can't read the warning about not using the top of the ladder!

I used to have a cat that would climb ladders. The new one hasn't had the opportunity to try it out, but she probably would, too. She's quite the acrobat.

So funny. I've had cats my whole life and I've never seen any of them climb a ladder. Much less to sleep on a child's bed. I did have one cat climb a screen door with his claws and got stuck at the top. He did that a few times actually.

DS claims he taught the cat to walk up his bunk ladder years ago when he had bunk beds. That cat always slept with him, and I did see the cat climb it myself. Whether or not DS taught him or he figured it out for himself is another matter!

Yes, all of our cats (6) can climb a ladder.

It's never a good idea to leave the attic ladder down. A real pain trying to find 6 cats in a crawlspace type attic that is the entire length of your house.

Our big fat cat loves ladders. He especially likes the 14' we bring out to decorate the Christmas tree. My DD has a loft bed and he climbs up with her every night until I go to bed and then when I get up he goes back to her in the morning.

Our cat also will climb the ladder to the top bunk. She picked it up pretty fast.
