Fitness and cats

Cats always appear to be flexible and to stretch beautifully. Their muscles ripple. My cats do not want me to get fit, though. I have been laying a blanket down to do physical therapy on in the floor. I drape it over a chair when I am not using it in the floor. Mickey has stolen it. He turns and curls and wraps himself in the edge of it. If I move it I kind of disrupt his perpetual cat nap. No problem. I have another sheet that will work fine in the floor. Just as soon as I spread it out to lay on, Tinker was in the middle of it. So I moved to the side to do my stretches. As soon as my legs were crossed over, and up in the air, Tinker was under them. He kept trying to be cozy while I tried to work out. That was last night. This morning, they have both finally gone outside. I must go get some stretches done quickly. I think they believe they are offering me a "fitness protection program".

Don't you know that everything belongs to them?

Of course it does, and I am here to do their bidding.

I bet, if you made a video of that, it would be a hit on You Tube.

my cats never bothered me when I exercised but my dog does. She will roll around my head and bump into me. She gets all excited like we are going to play then lays there looking at me like what the heck is she doing.

I can just imagine that. What a funny mental image. I have seen articles about "doga" yoga with dogs.

Not very helpful! I like that cartoon of Schubert with his cat lying on sheets of paper on his desk, and the caption is 'The real reason behind Schubert's unfinished symphony'
