I know cats love Reiki, because when I was practising reiki on a regular basis both Paddy and Mac would love to be part of it, and most people loved the fact they wanted to take part too.  Cats are of course very spiritual beings, in the truest sense of the expression.   :Luv:

Despite doing a lot of sport all my life I have never been that flexibible!

The second one looked like the cat may be skating and Kocka used to sit on my shoulder, one day she decided to ski down my back!

I didnt get hurt!!

I love the way in the first one the guy really holds it together expertly, and then dissolves into laughter after he's finished.    :evillaugh:

I have never - ever - been that flexible, and now, I'm like a plank of wood that will not bend without breaking.  :evillaugh:

When I did Yoga for a year, I never had a cat but my dog at the time ( GSD x Corgi )  would come up and play around my legs and arms similar to the cats.  When I did have a Chloe (my last cat) she would do the supervisory climbing when I played my orchestral flute.

 :evillaugh: :evillaugh:  I just love the way our cats and dogs like to take part in things.  It's such a joy.   :Luv:

In my younger, fitter days, I used to have a rowing machine at home, and would do ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes in the evening -  our then dogg, Kindee, would sit herself down in front of it and watch me, and her head would be moving side to side as she watched the movement of the seat going to and fro.  Well I would begin to laugh, and then the laughter would take over, my rythm would be shot to pieces and I'd just collapse in fits of giggles.   :rofl:

Brilliant! Watching the second one, I was torn between laughing at the cat and being amazed by the woman's flexbility - I've done yoga for years but have never been like that!

Here's a kitty doing some very advanced poses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2bo-IJEK8o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2bo-IJEK8o)

Oooh I love these.  :rofl:  I especially like the one where she's doing salute to the sun and the cat manages to stay on her back no matter what position she's in, even when she stands up straight.  :rofl: My Ginger used to try that and I've never let any of my subsequent felines stay in the room when I'm practising.

Must send the links to my yoga teacher and ask if Bunty and Biggles can join the class.  :evillaugh:.
