Cats and Street Performers

By Sue15cat

It seems cats and street performers have a lot in common .... put a bag down for a minute and you'll come out of the room to find it's already occupied.  Ginger just sat there peeking out for ages, then he decided he had better things to do, jumped out of the bag and went downstairs.

 I think it was his stillness that reminded me of this photo I had taken with my phone last time I was in Reading, Berkshire with Lovely Hubby, a couple of weeks ago.
It took me a while to work out how they did this seemingly astonishing feat of balance.  They were there for all the time it took us to have our lunch, go for a coffee and get some shopping.  Barely moving a muscle save for the stretching of their fingers every now and then and blinking and smiling as the crowd took photos and dropped pound coins in their collection bucket.
There was visible space between the head and bottom of each person ... can you figure out how they did it?
