Not very good lurker
The vet has said steps aren't good either. Defo no jumping and avoid steps. our living room is so small that a ramp type situation isn't really possible.
Tbf the vet did also say put him in a room where there's nothing that will tempt him to jump. Who has a room like that in their house?
At the moment he knows he can't, but as he starts to get better we will put some boxes by the side of the sofa so at least he's not jumping.
I do wonder whether vets have ever actually had cats sometimes when they say what you need to try and stop them doing.

Oh dear, yes I have been in similar situations, I had to put Jakey in a large dog crate for a few days once after surgery - that's OK short term if it's just like a hospitalisation but at home scenario, but not for longer periods.

I'm not convinced Katniss chose to go in there

Remember when I was worried that Cat had brought a rodent into the bedroom and possibly lost it under the bed? And I said I’d have to dismantle the room to find out what he’d been playing with?
This is what I found in the far corner, the furthest corner.
All the lost toys.

Yay. Now they can lose them again

He especially likes the small plastic Christmas baubles. They bounce and scatter in a particularly pleasing fashion. And he can pick them up and carry them by the hanging bit, until it gets broken or lost.
He’d love to play fetch if he could work out the fetch bit. He scampers off to find the thing I’ve thrown but then doesn’t fetch it back….
So of course he has worked it out.
He’s worked out that if he doesn’t bring it back, I’ll walk over, pick it up and throw it again. So he’s saved himself the fetching bit while getting to enjoy the scampering after bit

My first cat loved to play fetch. Especially with the plastic rings that come with the screw-lid of the milk. She’d step on the edge to make it flip up so she could get a-hold of it with her mouth and bring it back. And she liked to skid along the shiny floor, her tail wheeling around like a propeller to keep balanced.

looks just like my undergraduate cat Joseph. we used to play fetch
What subject was he studying?
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
My Sonic used to love playing fetch, he'd bring me things and drop them on my foot then tap me until I threw whatever object he had chosen!

My housemate saw a beautiful cat going to work and told a work colleague, who replied "How do you know he was going to work? Was he carrying his knapsack and flask?"

Joseph and I played with a balled-up piece of aluminum foil. I'd toss, he'd scamper and bring it back about 80% of the way, but not all the way of course, he was a cat and had to be a little difficult.
the other thing he liked to do was bat roaches around but not kill them, then they'd be no fun anymore.
but he was a big handsome fuzzy and I wubbed him

Yep, that thing where they fetch it back close enough to let you know that you need to throw it for them again, but far enough away that you have to get up and move. Never all the way to where you are. Never!

High Empress of Dressing Up
There was a house fly in the lounge this evening. Tim was utterly furious. Dashing around shouting at it. Wasn’t trying to catch it - for long, though there were some impressive vertical leaps… just careening around with great force and meeping indignantly non-stop.
