The Treat UFO

Pierre: There’s a UFO full of treats here, and I can’t figure out how to get them out.

Ashton: Did you say treats?

Pierre: I can smell treats in there, but they’re covered up.

Ashton: Let me try.

Ashton: This can’t be hard. What if I knock it over?

Ashton: It doesn’t fall over. It rolls around and shakes the food at me. What a tease.

Striped Cats Don’t Jump

Ashton: I don’t know if you heard, but I don’t jump. Not if I can help it. It’s undignified. It is also hard for me to judge distances accurately with only one eye. The head peep finally got some photos of how I don’t jump to reach the platforms on the cat tree, and I said she could share them with you today.

Ashton: To get to the first platform of the cat tree, you climb up the cat tree, like this.

Ashton: Then you reach across.

Ashton: Okay, both paws now.

Ashton: Then you pull yourself over.

Ashton: Pull hard, and push with your back feet. Almost there!

Ashton: This part is really awkward. Maybe you can look away from this photo while I push myself all the way onto the platform.

Ashton: Whew, I finally made it! Wasn’t that better than jumping up here?
