Jerry's Journal: Confused by Stairs

Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture detailing the moment he was confused by stairs. He’s been over my Grandparent’s house once before, and both times, whenever someone walk up the stairs, he watches them, trying to figure out where they’re going and once they’ve disappeared, he walks to the bottom of the stairs and sits down and wait for them to return. When they do, he gets all excited.

Before he became a member of our family, he lived in a bungalow, now he lives in a flat, and even my Grandma’s house doesn’t have stairs, only my Grandparent’s house does. When out for walks, mainly during the summer, I take him across the water’s edge, where there is the option of steps to reach the higher level, to see more of the area. He loves going up and down them, but they’re outside only. Jerry hasn’t quite gotten used to the concept of having steps indoors.

If I were to put my Grandparent’s stairs outside, he’ll confidently go up and down them all day, but indoors, he’s cutely confused. He’s baffled by them. The highest step he’s reached is the fourth, when he tested them out with his front paws – he just hasn’t learnt he can walk up and down them no differently than the ones he does outside.

Next time he's visiting, I'll try and capture that moment he's baffled, and help him up.

Thanks for reading
