Melbcat came over to a visitor for pats and reached up trying to get in their lap! She needed to be lifted for a cuddle but after they got up she jumped into the empty chair independently.

I didn’t think she was interested in getting up there anymore or had the mobility but maybe now I need to get a pet ramp and even buy a comfier (and destroyable) chair for her.

I wish she’d take her 4cyte. That on top of the solensia and she’d be able to climb the walls!

Edit: She’s still relaxing in her chair

My old maine coone boy would only take his 4cyte if I put it in a little bit of food he had to eat before getting a full dinner. Every house he lived at had ramps everywhere because he loved to climb but couldn't get back down due to having only 3 legs. He would yell at me to carry him from room to room to save him the effort.
