Ah...cat ladders...who knew?

I never have thought about free ranging cats who live on upper floors of buildings.  Just figured there wouldn't be such as thing as they would be indoor cats. Well, not so it seems.
"Days when one longs to be a cat, specifically a free-ranging feline of Bern, Switzerland, as featured in graphic designer Brigitte Schuster’s forthcoming book, Swiss Cat Ladders...
Some American cats come and go freely through—dare we say—doggie doors, those small apertures cut into existing points of entry, most commonly the one leading from kitchen to Great Outdoors.
The citizens of Bern have aimed much higher, customizing their homes in alignment with both the feline commitment to independence and their fearlessness where heights are concerned."
