Thank you for the info on this. It's not an easy task keeping her from jumping off of things since she's like lightening when she's on a mission to check something out! I cringe and freak out and run to make sure she didn't hurt herself. I even pushed the couch back up against the wall to keep her from jumping that high since she will (silly girl)!
