    Filou doing the pretzel

    I just wanted to go to bed, went to the bathroom and here in his radiator bed was Filou -not in the tortellini as usual but in this position I'd never seen before:





    Can you believe this? He's an acrobat

    What I can't believe is that you were on your way to bed, but instead you ran and got the camera, snapped a few quick pics, then took the time to get them off the camera and onto Imagestation, then wrote this thread up!! For me that would mean I'd get to bed about 2 hours after my original intention because once I got here, I'd have to stay for awhile....

    Filou is so cute in his little bed. He sure looks comfy, even though we can't figure out how he got in that position in the first place.

    When you see those irresistable shots of course you must RUN for the camera! Great picture! and once again I am sooo envious of cats and their flexible bodies and the way they can put themselves into any position comfortably> Quite different from us humans who have to be careful how we sleep so as to not wake up with aches and pains!

    Introducing.....

    Filou the contortionist!!! He can wrap his body into so many different shapes and forms. Watch him as he becomes a tortellini, a pretzel, a figure-8! He will amaze and astound you! You will wonder if he has a bone in his lithe little body.

    Come one, come all and see the one and only.....Rubber Band Cat!

    I see a show bix career here... or at the very least the Circus....maybe even Cirque de Soleil!

    Tubby...where's your agent!

    "Cats' bodies are extremely flexible; the cat skeleton contains more than 230 bones (a human has about 206), and the pelvis and shoulders loosely attach to the spine. This adds to their flexibility and allows them to fit through very small spaces."

    Thank you for the demonstration, Filou. You even make it look comfortable.
