After some encouraging words from Mom, this cat still fails miserably

This cat was jinxed I tell ya!

The black kitty wanted to hop onto the ledge above him, but the jump was a pretty good distance. So, cameras were out to either watch an epic jump... or an epic fail.

"He's never done it from that far away... he can do it if he tried," his human mom encouraged. 

Nope... But we still give the kitty credit for trying! (He was not harmed and proceeded to groom himself like nothing had happened after the video was taken.)
