Ethel crests Everest

Okay, so it's just the arm of the sofa.

But it's just so amusing when she jumps on the sofa and pops up on the arm to check out what's going on with the human in the recliner.

Are you going to change the channel
or should I?

Hmph ... no treats on the arm.
(I sometimes put a few there to dole out during the evening)

Princess Ethel surveys her domain.

Ethel seems to like the perspective of the high ground, whether it's from the sofa, the castle, the coffee table or the top of whichever box is in her vicinity. Maybe as the smallest bun, it's her defensive measure.
