Scaling the Sill

Target acquired: the wide wooden windowsill! I didn't waste a second. First, I gripped the lower rung of the dining chair with both gloved paws, hauled my boots up, and scrambled straight onto the cushion. One swift leap to the backrest, quick balance check, and then—launch! My boots landed on the smooth painted sill with a firm, satisfying thud. From up here, the entire floor is totally within my sights, and the morning view through the glass stretches clear across the yard. High ground claimed!
