Hey lookit what I found!

It seems there is a growing trend of which I was until this past week or so completely unaware and I'm not quite so how the genesis of such a truly important trend managed to pass me by, seeing as the wilds of Central Victoria is usually such a hotbed of all that is 'new' and 'up-to-the-minute'[ that was sarcasm in case you missed it ]
Yes I'm talking about the cat yoga again.
You may remember that Suki is the one responsible for introducing Sophie to this esoteric eastern art
so I was rather happy when in a nice piece of serendipity, I found THIS waiting for me at my favourite second hand book store [ and before you ask, Val, not the one at Campbell's Creek ... Soldier and Scholar, the smaller one in Barker Street opposite the Library ]


Ms Caramel was seen practising what looked very like the cobra pose yesterday so obviously it's catching on. Currently Oakley is the only holdout Chez Catsmum.



HE says it's because yoga poses are not conducive to the gravitas required of the more 'mature' purrson.



Sophie and Caramel just think it's because he's too fat.

ETA:

Sophie has pointed out that I am in error. She has been doing yoga for years and was originally taught by Swami Smokey [ sadly no longer with us ]

OMG!!! That's the first laugh I've had all day. Now I've got to start my cats on yoga just so we will all be hip to the latest trends. It's not a big deal to me. But they seem to feel that staying "current" is important...

Oh, my God, woman, you are too funny! Love it!

Will you next be knitting (or quilting) yoga mats for the kitties? Or are they of the "make it up as you go along" purrsuasion?

you HAD to go put that idea into my mind, didn't you, Mehitabel? Like I'm not obsessive enough already.
