Got my boy out for a bit of exercise today and the stupid fool tried to get from footstool to sofa bridging a gap of 12" (he's 36") the buffoon fell off but I caught him just before he hit the floor. Bugger me he then did it twice more.

Are they clumsy or is mine just gormless?

Very clumsy. None of ours are great at holding on to anything. They need to start wearing safety lines.

Suppose having no legs or arms makes for the occasional fall when there is nothing to hold on to.

I'm glad it's not just mine. He's hopeless - doesn't even try to grip on my arm when I'm playing with him. He caught sight of himself in the chrome trim on hearth brush. He was mesmerised for ages
