Tabs was quite the professional athlete, but as much as he tried, he just could not get into yoga. He would go, lay down on the mat, get ready to stretch, and promptly fall asleep every single time.
I think the studio he went to eventually just told him to stop coming because his napping was so distracting to all the other students. He was just too sexy, even asleep.
I took him to Bikram yoga once and dropped him off at class, went back to the car and settled in with a good book thinking he’d be in there at least 45 minutes. Less than 5 minutes later he comes sauntering out saying, “Nope, nope, not gonna do it. Too sweaty.” Then he made me drive him to In ‘N Out to get a vanilla milkshake. It was the weirdest thing.
Rosie
Rosie, on the other hand, is a yoga superstar. She just started taking classes, and she really likes it. She came home the other day and said, “Mrow, row, mrow,” which roughly translates to “I think I should start a movement that requests the renaming of downward and upward dog to downward and upward cat.”
She’s so into yoga that she’s constantly contorting herself and stretching wherever we go, which I’m all for. I think it helps her with her cat agility, especially when it comes to climbing trees. Lately when I’ve taken her out for a walk she just can’t get enough climbing up those trunks. She’s climbed every single tree in the neighborhood so far.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Rosie has been LOVING her leash time!

November 23rd, 2020 at 8:34 amI love her wild expression as she flies out of the dirt onto the tree! Is she getting into your makeup b/c Rosie looks so purrrety.

November 23rd, 2020 at 9:43 amLOL, she just “borrowed” a NARS brush the other day!

November 23rd, 2020 at 11:35 amOh, that tum!! I love the Rosie vids, too. The first one where she’s like “um, nothing. What are YOU doing?” is adorable but the 2nd one is startling in a hilarious way. She is GETTING up that tree! HAHA! Harris, beware – that girl will rip your face off!

November 23rd, 2020 at 12:22 pmI agree with Rosie – the naming of yoga poses is so important. What a feminine little face she has! Also, does she go to a high class colourist to get those special shades in her coat? A high maintenance girl…

All that fluffy, Tabs belly fur!!!!
Cats are funny in their individualism. Nora would go belly up and let you rub her belly, every now and then, when she was in the mood. You could even get in a little belly kiss, too. Nibbler on the other hand would rip your hand off with teeth and claws if you tried to touch her belly.

November 24th, 2020 at 3:12 pmShe can. She’s sweet but kinda psycho at times! If she’s not in the mood to be messed with she’ll let you know. She once hissed at me and I was truly shocked, because that’s something Tabs *never* did.

November 25th, 2020 at 7:49 pmTabs was such a handsome boy, and Rosie is so beautiful! I’m not supposed to do too much stretching because of hypermobility but man, with my cat-like tendencies I love stretching!
