[Ben isn't getting bored, necessarily; he's perfectly capable of sitting out this flood in one spot as long as he's not bothered. But it's definitely his own compulsion, not that of the cat, that is steadily driving him higher as he relocates from place to place in the ongoing pursuit of staying out of everyone else's way. The deck is going to be a problem, of course, but he wants to be high - he'll just have to be quick about coming off the staircase and into the lee of the greenhouse.
There's someone or something moving behind him that startles him into rushing, and then he makes it halfway darting across the deck before he's nearly flattened by... ...that's a vegetable.
And that is a very, very large cat chasing after it. Ben flattens himself to the deck and hunkers for impact, because there's no chance he's getting out of the way in time.]
