Do as I say, not as I do!!

OT says:  "OK, let's talk about technique!!"

1.  Grab the tree bark with the claws on your front
     feet.
2.  Never look sideways, as I'm doing here. 
3.  Never stop to talk about climbing technique when
      you're in a race to the top.
4.  Use your back legs for power to propel you up the
      tree in the fastest manner possible.
5.  Your tail is for balance, so don't start wagging it
     like some over-zealous dog.  You'll fall out of the
     tree!!
6.  Sharpen your claws before joining a race!!
