IDK... seems like the only path to success for that cat is directly forward. Anything else will result in it plummeting to the ground.
I think what the creator meant in this meme is that there are many paths to success for anyone including (sometimes) along the top of a steel bar fence (if they are a cat or think they are a cat). I don’t really know, I just thought it sounded like a good motivational meme so I put it up in this thread for what is probably my first post.
I have seen cats walk backwards and also turn around or jump up or down from such a situation. Such awesome creatures.
