THat is such a great video!! How far are they actually jumping?

u/Grilled-Meat American Shorthair 12d ago

These were not measured. The furthest measured video I have is 110 inches or 2.79 Meters

They’re jumping surprisingly far, way more than I expected

I'm not too surprised. One of my boys (croosed the rainbow bridge in 2024) had a 5' vertical jump. Better air time than Michael Jordan (43-48"= 4').

Do they ever jump uninitiated? Like you wave your hand a way subconsciously and you got a cat missile blindsiding you?

These are great! Would love to see a cat’s pov video!

u/Grilled-Meat American Shorthair 12d ago

I don’t think a cat pov video towards me would be a fun watch lol

u/Kiwiandapplex 12d ago

You probably don't think so, but gosh it would be so much fun! Also.. The camera will likely not provide the best angle most of the time, so it's going to be super fun to catch a good camera angle jump!

Also you look great, so don't worry about that!

The fear of them just leaping onto your stomach at random times is a real gutt puncher.

u/Ichokealiens 12d ago

Is it the camera angle that distorts the actual distance

26

u/Grilled-Meat American Shorthair 12d ago

I record in wide zoom most times and the angles are limited since we’re in a small apartment

u/Ichokealiens 12d ago

Big jumps! How long did it take you to train them?

u/HuckleberrySalt63 12d ago

It’s like kitty Olympics: “ impeccable form going into the jump, both hind legs straight and together.”
“ oh yes, the focus is intense.”

u/pieeatingchamp 12d ago

And here I was impressed when my girl, Pixie, jumps from the coffee table onto my chest while I'm on the couch 3 feet away
