However, Spot regularly falls off - she's been falling off rocks, boxes, chairs, beds, shelves since she was a baby. So far, no harm done, at least not to Spot! Even so, I was relieved when our new refrigerator had a sort of ledge where the doors are a couple of inches higher than the top. it's greatly reduced the falls. (Finally, a good thing to come out of the death of a refrigerator, which has never before been a positive event!). Spot loves to sleep on top of the refrigerator – as does our new kitty.

He had a cat which he brought along on his circuit to demonstrate (because audiences perk up when there's an animal involved), and he described the night that he let go of the cat, and at the moment gravity took over, it gave him a look that clearly conveyed the message, "Not tonight." It stared at him all the way to the ground, and he was declared a monster by his audience. He apologized to the cat and amended his lecture. If only I could remember his name....
