I took this the first day I brought Scout home. I think she was in some kind of meditation state, lol.

[kitten645]

All these babies are the most gorgeous felines however I must give a "shout out" to Scout that has the most beautiful of markings this side of black kitties(Calvin is looking over my shoulder as I type this...LOL) I know Calie does his yoga daily when I get home...surprised he hasn't knocked himself unconcious in the process..many LOUD head thumps to the floor. Must get a pic....

[bisi.cat]

I love the way your cats are meditating...wow such a lot of daily exercise!!!
I've caught Nellie in this pose and I still wonder what kind of meditation it was?!

This is a move that is rare to catch on film....the well known, but rarely seen "Ousting the Dingle"

[2kitties]

Love this thread!!! All the pics are wonderful. I especially love Stormy's upright pose. Lovely.

[Killearn Kitties]

Does balancing on a tightrope qualify as a yoga exercise? Jessica can handle that one!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid73/p723f0e57d3fc51664500f7f08d00eded/fb7425f3.jpg

How about rolling in the grass?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid73/pf0d63631d4dbb297fe251775d7437011/fb742512.jpg

Properly stretching and relaxing after exercise is SO important!

Inka dear,
In yoga class, we call this pose "downward facing dog" for you, we'll call it "downward facing cat." And, you have prefect form!!!

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a face! So.... well.......expressive!

We call that "Cat and Dog Pose" in yoga class. (I'm so hooked on this yoga stuff!) It's funny how many yoga poses have pet names! Tess is beautiful!

[Killearn Kitties]

What a face! So.... well.......expressive!
I know!! What's it like? Other people's cats gaze at them lovingly (I'm thinking particularly of Toby here, but loads of others do it as well), when Jessica sees a camera, she positively glares!!

[jonza]

Here's an old picture of Fister practising his yoga in the back yard. I think he called it the "mud roll". He thought it was great, because afterwards he could come back to our flat and give himself a good old wash and clean up in our bed.
Not appreciated at all!

If you think that expression of Jessica's was bad, what do you think of this one?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid77/pabfb7e17a53d37401cb866227f5927ad/fb2f1846.jpg

[Edwina's Secretary]

Ouch!!! She needs to be careful or her face will freeze that way (what my mother always told me.) With the way her eyes photographed she looks almost....possessed?

[2kitties]

Oh Jessica! We need to work on your flirty face. Such a pretty kitty with such a sour expression. I'm sure you smile for you mommy, though.

Karen, I know this look, too...it's the "Either my way or NO WAY!"-look and Nellie practices this look, too...it feels as if hit by a poisened arrow and I often tell my husband "Phew I'm glad that she isn't two sizes bigger...she would probably eat us!!!"
:eek:

But I think your Jessica is a beautiful cat with loads of cattitude and I am just telling you: MORE PICTURES, PLEASE!!!
:D :D :D

Anyhow that's a new perspective .....literally speaking....
