She also tries to climb the doorjamb, but only gets to head level or so before she slides down, scratching the paint. The smart & nimble one never does anything cool.

The shot at the beginning of the cat jumping down and the other cats on its "team" running to follow didn't look like cat behavior at all. The other scenes, however, are great.
