Not all cats are unable to down climb, Norwegian Forest cats for example are known to down climb head first. [1] We had the pleasure of housing one temporarily for a couple months. It looked huge but 50% of its volume was wispy fur. Hidden within was a lean petite frame with muscular legs. It was a very different animal from our two other typical mutt house cats, but I can't recall if the claws were organized differently.
