Liberty Learns to Jump

Liberty has learned to jump into her chair, a very big achievement. We thought she was scrambling up, like the photo to the left, til she decided to launch herself while we were watching. She misses as often as she makes it, but it's softly upholstered, so she can't get hurt trying to fly. Ayo watches, and waits til she's up, then leaps to the seat without effort, lays down, and pushes her baby off the edge. We think it's payback for Liberty biting Ayo's tail every chance she gets. She has a ton of toys, but nothing entices her like her mom.

She's also decided to jump Up! Up! like a two-year old, wanting Jason to pick her up in his arms. Which he does, of course. She's a bit spoiled, but in a good way. She already understands No, and while she's going through the mouthing stage, we can tell her No, offer her Mini Orka (dog) chew toy, and she'll happily chew on that, forgetting what she was up to just a few moments before. We laugh that Liberty has ADD because of her short attention span, but it's really LKS (Little Kitten Syndrome). And that too, will pass as she matures.
