Yes they can; but it is a slow process for the cat and he feels vulnerable while doing it, because he has to back down the trunk and can't really see what he is getting into. Many cats, generally ones who have not been properly trained in tree0climbing, would rather sit at the top of the tree and howl.

all cats are very good a climbing, siberian tigers do not climb soo much because they are normally in very cold conditions in snow ect.

Yes, all can. Leopards, jaguars, and pumas are excellent climbers. Lions and tigers can climb, but not so well as the smaller species. Being the apex predators in their environments, they rarely have need to climb. An old man eating tiger, captured and put into an arena, dashed to a limbless tree in the center of the arena, and swarmed catlike, 40 feet up the tree, where it reclined on the only limb on the tree before coming back down. Lionesses and tigresses climb somewhat better than males, because they are lighter built.

ALL cats use trees, either to snooze or wait for their lunch to come along, unawares. Of course, they also seek the safety of the trees to protect them from non-climbers.

No, not all. Depends on if it is fat or skinny. If it is fat, it cannot but if it is skinny, it can.

Why do cats try to climb walls?

A cat's claws are curved in such a way they can climb UP easily but cats, especially kittens, try first to go down headfirst which, because of their claws does NOT work. Until they realise (they usually do) that you have to go down backwards, then they will no longer get stuck.


How does a raccoon's climbing ability help them?

Some of them live in hollow trees, so climbing helps. Climbing down headfirst must be easier for them too. Maybe that's why cats get stuck in trees; cats can't climb down headfirst. The raccoon's rear feet rotate 180o whenever it climbs down headfirst.This helps them in finding safe nesting areas in dead trees, it helps them to escape predators, and it helps them find food, such as fruit, insects and birds eggs.
