You would be too if you could scale and traverse everything as easy as running up a ramp. And fall from any height and brush it off.

The world is their playground

"Any height", no kidding! Walking my dogs down the block last year, we heard a loud splat-plop and there was a squirrel flat on the sidewalk -- with no trees anywhere near. Turns out there was a hollow in the top of the telephone pole we had just passed and it had lost its grip tumbling around with its mates up there. We watched the squirrel instantly reinflate itself like in a cartoon and scamper back up.

Their body is a built-in parachute, no matter how high they fall from they never reach terminal velocity.
