@KamajiI have a "shop Tomcat" that does the same thing. I leave a ladder leaning up against my shop "office" wall in case I have to go up there to get something,and have gone out there and opened a can of cat food,and damned if he hasn't came running down the ladder head first as fast as he can run.
Unfortunately,another cat saw him climb the ladder and went up there with him one day,and was so afraid of climbing back down she died up there of starvation or thirst.
Now I am afraid to ever move the ladder because there is no way of telling if he is up there or not. Even if I climb up there,he may be hidden inside or behind something stored up there.
Not even sure I want to,since mice and snakes can also get up there.
