    HOW TRUE!!!
    I wish we could manage to just get in one of the poses (of course I wouldn't want to try the "excorsing poo"...lol...btw, Nellie refers to it as "pear-falling-from-tree-pose"...)

    Great job, tuxluvr...I really had a lot of fun reading this!!!

    Rocky is very interested in yoga. He is quite advanced.

    This is a highly advanced position. It requires great strength and concentration. We call it "hold for dear life" pose


    This is an easy stretch that most kitties can do. It's is very good for the hamstrings. Also allows for cleaning of the underbelly.


    This pose is easiest for very young kittens. Now that Rocky is a bit more plus sized, he's not quite this limber:


    And last, this stretch is not unlike the others in this thread. It is great for the shoulders and rear deltoids. Also, it often results in great belly rubs. (that's important, kitties. All your yoga poses should make your hoomans want to give you rubs)

    OMG this is one of the funniest threads I've seen. I'm laughing so hard I have to pee

    ....be right back......
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    We call this "You've Got Mail!" because that leg in the air looks like the little flag up on a mailbox.

    Here's Peanut's version of the reverse camel position. I know that's not the official name of it, but I can't remember exactly what they call it right now. I call it "the old gray mare just aint what she used to be" position.

    What a great thread. All your pics are hilarious!

    I found a few of Fister - captions are welcome!

    This is often what "exorcising poo" and "detangling the dingle" look like from the front view. Fister has chosen a method that works for all , ahem, "kitties of dimension" by creating a deep hole in the bed linens that has come to be known as the "duvet divot". This allows the larger puss to anchor its girth and reach far into the nether regions! While I have no pictures of this (Miz Ritz would not permit it), my "little" tuxedo princess prefers to wedge her substantial "loins" into the corner of the sofa for the proper leverage to attempt the "dingle detangle"....

    I don't think he can look more silly than this:

    Well, any cat can "high five" with the front paw! It takes something special to do it with the hind-hand!

    Rocky, you and KC would make a PURRFECT couple, I think...you could practice the "mirror split" and even lick each OTHER's tummies!
