From time to time, people have made jokes about my cats being able to get up on the beams across my living room, and I just smiled, because I thought it was too high up.
Today, Morwen figured out how to jump from the speaker to the beam over the fireplace -- not a ceiling beam, but a serious jump down. Random saw her, and followed, and both of them spent some time on the fireplace beam -- where both of them wanted to eat the pins in the bowl of pins that I'd stuck up there to be safe from cats.
Eventually they both got down, and I figured that was that. But then Morwen apparently decided to let her success with that go to her head, and made a mighty leap from the top of the cat tree to one of the ceiling beams. She's still up there, because there's no way I can get up there to get her down. Right now, she's asleep and (as far as I can tell) perfectly happy. But I'm not sure she can get down safely, and I don't want to turn the lights off in the living room until she does.
I suppose that having done it once, she's not going to forget how, either.
ETA: No cat skeletons on the beam -- she did get down safely. This time.
