Cat Yoga Cafe!

So, I guess the kitties are wondering if humans are mimicking them, with the flexibility & stretching

I thought this was a cute article and as a kitty-cat lover, pretty spot on about the observations of cats

http://wellandgood.com/2015/06/25/i-did-yoga-at-a-cat-cafe-and-this-is-what-happened

To my surprise, the cats were largely non-interactive during the 45-minute class, choosing to sit on the sidelines and stare at us with what looked like concern and awe, instead of climbing on the mats or our bodies. (As a cat person, I really wanted one to pounce on my back in tabletop position, but in true cat fashion, they never quite do want you want them to, do they?)

Haha ... That's what my daughter said when she saw this. I'd be busy trying to play with cats and wouldn't do the yoga.

Biancardi - that cat is looking at the photographer like "get me out of here, now"

Many animals - but especially cats, as they're so "bendy" - naturally do yoga.

In fact, there are cute calendars available showing 'coga' (cat yoga), 'doga' (dog yoga), 'koga' (kitten yoga), and 'poga' (puppy yoga).

Just Google to check them out.

Thanks for the enjoyable positive thread, B.

and the sad truth is that even if that guy got another yoga mat for himself, his cat would join him there. I have the battle of the chairs with my cats. I have 2 chairs on either side of my "main" chair, just for them. With soft cushions. But NNNOOOOOOO... They have to push their bodies behind my back and force me to sit on the edge of my chair when I am working on my computer!

cute cat! My cat never was interested in yoga but my dog, he becomes a huge pest when I try to do my back yoga! He thinks its time for him to come over and lick my face and sit on me!

I'll read the article, thanks!
