Moais - Cool for Cats - General Tiki

Is it for the same reason that a man will climb a mountain - simply because it is there? Is it chasing some bird that might land on top of the head? Is it a high vantage point to search for mice and other potential food on the ground? Is it some genetic instinctive desire to climb to tall heights, with the Moais being the tallest items now that the trees are all cut down? Do the Moai heads provide a warm heated surface on which to nap? Is it even easy for a cat to climb a mostly vertical stone structure? Does a cat climb to the top of one Moai, and then get the urge to climb the top of the neighboring Moai? Is this just what the cool cats on the island do - hang out on Moai heads? Is it part of the mystery of the islands - not only are the heads mysterious, but also the animals that reside on the island? Vern
