| I was just looking at photographs of fat pets.
Cats, dogs, even monkeys. But mostly cats. I'm not surprised. Cats are lazy as hell. They just sit around 23 hours a day.
But wait a minute...cats have ALWAYS sat around 23 hours a day. So how come the average cat is a slim, powerful predator?
And not only that, for the rare moments a cat DOES decide to move, it can REALLY move, sometimes exploding into a full-on sprint a split-second after lying relaxed and motionless.
Whereas most humans are hurting themselves just bending over these days.
Okay so what's the difference? For one thing cats stretch themselves. A lot. In fact one of the main poses in Lumberjack Yoga is named after the cat and mimics the very stretch they most often do.
And UNlike a lot of humans, when cats stretch they do NOT do so in a boring, static manner. They simultaneously engage muscles while flexing others.
So why are some cats getting fat? Simple: They're living with humans.
