LOL. Well, he's a terrific jumper when he's in the mood. Using a feather wand is kinda intimidating when the cat can jump over your head. But he does prefer being splayed out on a snuggly surface.

Regie is just beginning to want to jump at the feather wand. Has not YET mastered vertical jumps for flying objects. But I am SURE, no doubt, it will be very soon.

Jax was about 4.5 months old before he started jumping in that way. Now,,,,,he'll jump two to three feet flat footed! It's just around the corner for you my friend!

Ziggy parkours off of the wall in our hall at easily 6 feet chasing tassels or feathers. Just be sure to play high flying games with plenty of clear landing space--they'll fling themselves aloft with little regard to where they'll land when in hot pursuit.
We have to move furniture for the 2 big cats to play with Da Bird. They either do a vertical leap and land straight down or they go vertical and horizontal which is where the problem comes in. Down the hallway is the only place the big cats can play safely when they go vertical and horizontal. The distance they cover on the horizontal is amazing.
We have an L-shaped hallway and Maliik not only parkours around the corner when he's chasing/being chased, he also runs a bit along the wall at that 6-7' height. Spider man imitation. Atticus, being a kitten still and not yet figuring out momentum and gravity, still uses the bounce-off-the-wall slide on bum technique for negotiating corners at a high rate of speed.
Regie's sister has been able to jump above my waist height when I have food in my hands, she doesn't do that for toys though... priorities I guess... 
None of my cats or kittens careen off the walls, but then my little house is so full, I don't really have any bare walls, they are all covered by furniture or bookshelves, etc...

Well, Regie is now taking to trying to climb the wall. He will sit in a doorway and try by putting his feet on either side of the wall and jumping up. SOOO cute.
LOL, Elsa is taking to a new adventure of climbing... She is trying to climb to the top of the shower door via the tile... Surprisingly she has gotten 1/2 way up there, but not yet made the full scale....
