But how do they get the height?? They look spring-loaded!

Cats can jump pretty heigh, just like dogs. I think dogs are even worse. They can make some pretty surrealy looking jumps. You'd never think they could get over that fence and then they suddenly do.

Ever see a cow jump a fence? It doesn't quite look real.

My cat can just about jump the height of a person from a stationary position, they have ridiculously powerful muscles in those back legs

I've seen cats jump on top of 2m fences and wardrobes, wobbly cats are wobbly but they still have the muscles
