Cats are born showmen and they all have their own unique talent. Some of them their talent might be magic to make things disappear, with some it might be stuns and still others it could be as a clown. I have grown up with cats that fit in to all of those categories and will relay some of their stories:
The acrobat and doughnut thief. I use to have a cat named Twinkie, yes we named her after the treat, and she had two talents. One was that she could always smell a doughnut that was about to be eaten and steal at least part of it before you could take a bite. The other was that she liked to jump out of a hole in our ceiling. The first one you might think isn't much of a talent and perhaps not but it is the second that is what made her unique.
Before I go any further I need to explain how the hole came to be in our ceiling. When we had Twinkie some of the vent covers on the outside of our roof where missing and some wasp flown in the attic and made a nest that weaken part of the ceiling. Once we found out about the nest we had it taken care of but there was still that weak spot. One day as Twinkie was outside she had climbed into the attic as she did often but this time she had hit that weak spot and fell through into the hallway. She was unharmed and in fact seemed to think it was quite fun. So after a few moments she wanted back outside and promptly went back in to the attic. A couple of minutes later we heard a thud and natural all ran to see what caused the noise. We were all shocked to see the cat sitting there in the hall cleaning herself . She stood and wanted right back outside and we let her out. All of us just sat down again and hear a thud and sure enough it was the cat again.
The next day the cat was outside and I was walking down the hall. I heard a meow and naturally looked up and down the hall but no sign of a cat. Once again a meow and this time I looked up and sure enough there was Twinkie. She was telling me that I was in her way and could I move so she could jump down. So after that day we started warning people when they came over to watch out for our sky-diving cat.
