I thought that was a behavior cats just exhibit in real life. In my apartment, there's a gap between the top of the wall and the ceiling. My cat frequently climbs up there. Pretty easy to imagine he'd do the same thing on fences w

Honestly, I just have mine configured to copy the image directly to my clipboard and manually go through ShareX or my web browser to upload it somewhere. Most places I'm in (Hangouts/Slack/Discord/etc) allow me to paste
