Cat’s Resourcefulness and Sharp Thinking Takes Her to New Heights in Fence Climbing
Mary Jane did not take the obvious route up the fence, and that is exactly what makes this cat video so fun to watch. Instead of wasting energy on a tricky leap, the tuxedo cat found a smarter way to reach the top and survey her surroundings.
The clip, originally uploaded by Hindustan Times, shows Mary Jane outside her California home as she works out the easiest path to the picket tops. It is a small moment, but it captures the kind of quick thinking cat lovers recognize right away, especially when a fence corner offers a better solution than a straight jump.
By the end, Mary Jane looks completely pleased with herself, and the whole thing feels like a tiny victory lap. Read on.

Furthermore, Mary Jane's approach to climbing the fence is yet another perfect illustration of why we love these little furry companions. The video lasts a minute and a half, opening with Mary Jane standing on the top fence supporter and looking into the nearby yard.
The sharp feline quickly devised a solution!

Anything she spotted surely made her want to get a better look. Now comes the problem, from where she stands, the slim picket tops and the effort required to jump her backend onto them appeared to be both hazardous and quite a task.
And now the question on everyone’s mind: how does Mary Jane scale through?
She was clearly not in the mood for a clumsy leap.
It reminded me of the entitled mom who tried stealing a man’s cat, then called the cops.
Mary Jane undoubtedly looks proud of her work as she poses on the picket tops.

Seeing where the fence meets at different sides of a corner post, this clever kitty clutches onto the fence with her front paws and tiptoes toward the backer until she arrives at the corner. There, she bounces her fluffy fanny onto the highest point of the post and glances around to ensure the entire world hasn’t missed her splendid accomplishment.
