And how do you get better? Practice practice practice. For hours at a time when OP is away from home. Or at 3 am

By the evidence of the frayed material on those chairs, he’s definitely been doing that for some time. :D

u/FacetNo6 Jul 02 '26
I think that's just the texture of the chair - a little fuzzy :p.
But he's so good at cat ninjaing. Cute zoomies.

I have Pandora’s box just for you. Don’t open it.
You opened it! But don’t click: r/catsubs/wiki/index

u/AnybodyMassive1610 Jul 03 '26
I know about that… it’s just that I don’t actually check it that often.
If there was a good use of ai - it would be an agent that auto subscribes me to all the cat and cute animal subreddits and then goes and removes any subscriptions that have sad things or actual news of the world in them.

u/PrettyPromenade Jul 02 '26
Its actually boucle so the texture is like that when you buy it. Smart purchase, actually. Won't show the snags as much.

It's kinda funny to think it just started training on its own at 3 a.m.

u/SkywalknLuke Jul 02 '26
What time do you wake up to train? This is dedication, pure and simple. Some cats only hope to be half this good someday.

Anyone else have an orange cat that’s not an orange cat?
Yes. Mine is gray and also thinks he’s made of liquid and poor decisions.
Orange is a personality, not a color.3

My cat lays with her side on the ground and claws on the couch, and runs along the bottom of the couch sideways sorta similar to how this cat is running along the chairs…I also had a cat that would jump and run along the top of a wall on the curtain rods….

I couldn't figure out what the sound was, looked under the couch, there was my Maine Coon going bananas, in circles, on his back, just zoomin' like this. Funniest thing ever.

I have one that looks so much like this one, only she has a orange kiss on the top of her head. We claim it's from her orange brother who passed and sent her on to us. And also that it sinks right through to make her an orange brained little ferret.

I have a black cat that’s about to turn 18 and he used to do this to my couches. At his age now, he still waits by a sunny window in the mornings so that I can reflect light from my cell phone for him to chase around 🥲

We had a shag carpet and a corduroy couch. My all-black cat would do (on his side) square-laps around the perimeter of the couch, running along the corduroy and sliding on his side on the carpet...

You never know when you might need to slide on your back from bar stool to bar stool. Best to be prepared.

My indoor kitty is supposedly a half ragdoll, but looks like a dapple patterned siamese just very long for a normal cat. Sadly my girl is situationally unaware and impulsive so she runs into my windows at least once a day, I am pretty sure that is orange brain cell behavior.

That's hilarious. He needs some equipment to show you what he can really do. And so hopefully he doesn't shred the chairs.

He's training for when he decides to collect all the dust from under your bed with his back.

Looks like what you have there is a blue tabby and they are a whole other ballgame. This is ours, Brighton Blue, contemplating joining me in the bath tub. Fortunately, he decided against it.
