Dear Cat

[Owlie]

Dear LuLu,

If you wish to join in my yoga practice, we need to clarify a few things. First, it's called downward-facing DOG. Dogs don't have claws, so this pose does not involve clawing at the yoga mat. Second, when my hands are resting in a mudra on my thighs, they are not available to pet you. Third, if you tickle me with your tail while I am in triangle pose, I am likely to fall on top of you and crush you. Finally, we usually chant om before and after practice, as opposed to chanting meow throughout the practice. You are, however, welcome to purr during meditation.

Namaste,
The woman who ought to seek inner peace in the feel of your fur on her fingertips

That's cute and funny! DBF's mom went through several stages of trying to work out around His Royal Highness. First she did what she wanted, but his Catness decided that she wasn't doing anything useful and was therefore available for treat retrieval. Then she tried shutting him in her bedroom, but that didn't work because he doesn't like closed doors and would complain loudly. Then she tried giving the cat the run of the house and shutting herself in the bedroom. That didn't work either, for the same reason. So she gave up and started going to the gym.
