I believe I've heard and seen this breed featured on a news program 
someplace.  If it's the same "breed" spoken of above, the cats have a unique 
trait that seems to comprimise on the climbing aspect: the specific trait is 
that they are the only breed that has a "reverse gear" that allows the cat to 
walk (or maneuver quickly) backwards.
