Q: How do you titillate an ocelot?
A: Oscillate* its titalot.
*Or osculate, even better.

Okay, now I have a better understanding of why cats continually test gravity (by knocking things off counters).
It’s clear from this video that gravity has only intermittent affect on cats.
I thought it was only a baby goat thing, but I was wrong.

Yes; kind of like casters, maybe?:
The margay is nocturnal. It is a very good climber and jumper. It has joints in its ankles that rotate 180 degrees. This helps it climb down vertical trees headfirst. It is the only cat in North America that can do that! It can also hang from tree limbs by one hind foot.
