Well I don't have any pictures of it but Tibbe will sometimes walk along the very outer edge of the den couch pillows and what keeps him from falling off - I don't know. I try to discourage him but am too afraid to disagree with his actions when he has already committed as I fear he might try to stop and turn around and lose his balance - as he did the one time I did say "no, no" when I caught him doing it. I've since caught him right at the beginning of attempting one of these edge-walks enough times now that he hardly ever does it anymore but when I first got him after he'd lived for 9 months mostly in a cage and knew nothing about the world, he started doing this - as if he had no idea he was subject to gravity! I thought only a very nifty-footed cat could pull off a balancing act like that the first time I saw it - an almost grown Yorkshire Terrier tripping along the front edge of the couch from one end to the other when just one misplaced step and down he would go! I mean he gets right on the very front edge of the pillows and starts walking the length of the couch and mostly when I realize he is doing it, he's halfway along the edge and as I said, am too fearful to say anything until he is done! Also he loves to get on the arms of chairs and couches! I used to come into the room and there was Tibbe, lying on the arm of the couch or one of the upholstered chairs! Like a cat or something! I would just gently start saying "No, no, no......" in a low voice and he would rise and get off and onto a seat cushion. He also loves to walk along the top back of the den couch but since it is backed up against a long window with the top of the back cushions level with a window ledge, that is okay. But my catlike Yorkie can scare me to death with his feline ways!
