The only thing that rivals a cat’s cuteness is its ability to climb and hide. I swear, some felines are determined to set paw on every surface of their house. Whether we’re talking about a ceiling lamp or the ventilation system, the bravest furry explorers have their eyes on it.

We at Bored Panda decided to honor these adventures and give them the attention they deserve. So we compiled a list of photos that cat owners took the moment they realized James Cook and George Mallory have nothing on their pet. Scroll down and check them out!

My cat got stuck in the wall on Christmas day.

The basement kitchenette ceiling was left open when it was built a few months ago so he climbed onto the cupboards and into the ceiling before falling into the wall.
This was at my mom’s house and he was stuck for about 2 hours while we tried to figure out his exact location and cut a hole to release him. He is perfectly fine and even tried to go back in the hole!
