A Coordinated Cat Climbs To the Top of an Indoor Climbing Wall at a Japanese Bouldering Gym

A very coordinated tortoiseshell cat named Lalah logically negotiated the plastic finger holds along an indoor climbing wall at the Boulbaka2 Bouldering Gym in near Naha, Okinawa, Japan as she systematically climbed her way to the very top. According to the gym proprietors, this was a big accomplishment that was a long time coming for the resident kitty.

(translated) She must have been eager for climbing up to the top before she became proper size to reach to the next hold(colored rocks) while watching people climbing everyday. In the last few weeks, her growth made it possible for it. So,she did it! We never trained her. She just accomplished her desire with no help. She must be happy and proud. We are also very happy and proud of her challenge and achievement!
