Do you have your own stretch style? Cause we do.
Quill Style - I prefer a standing stretch. I like to really stretch out my long back legs. So I have a little lunge move where I move my front out and really lengthen my body. I go sway back for a few minutes, then I kick back each back leg and really streeetch it back. I take my time too. A good stretch can't be rushed.
Greyson Style - I like a standing and lying stretch. I am also a big yawner - gotta get those jaw muscles limber for snack time.
Lying stretch - I go on my side (either side) and really stretch out the tummy but trying to reach back with the front and back halves.
Standing stretch - I am a firm believer in tradition here - I go with the classic Halloween Cat. Where I throw in a little twist is the tail. I either go with an S or C curve.
Friends what is your stretch style?
I like a standing stretch...I usually use a prop...my scratching post and hold the top of it and get a real good stretch!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I stretch out on the floor, I like to scoot around. The mom says I look pretty silly when I do this.

Zorro practices lying stretch, and I (Loupi) prefer standing stretch using a tree.
ReplyDeleteMy human needs to get some photos of our stretching style - 'cause she does not know!
ReplyDeleteBeing a weenie dog, I like the old fashioned roaching technique!

Sometimes I have been known to stretch the truth a bit!
ReplyDeleteI'm just a little bit sad we don't have pictures (or video) of this..
ReplyDeleteSo a mental picture will have to do

I'm a back and side stretcher, it is impawtant for me to show my ample belleh at all times.

Gosh, we will have to pay more attention to how we stretch and the report back to you. I think we mainly do standing stretches. We sure do need pictures of those stretches. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything cuter than a stretching kitty?? Leo, long as he is, tries to reach up high on the wall, which is the only place he can use his full length, then he arches into it with abandon! Star prefers the front half down bottom half up claws extended stretch, preferably while sitting on a reclining human so the claws can really dig in...
ReplyDeleteAny way we can! We want pictures too.
ReplyDeleteWish you had photos to share. Most of us like to stretch out on our backs. Happy International Cat Day. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo.
ReplyDeleteMoosey like the Halloween cat stretch, and the laying on the back stretch! :)
ReplyDeleteMaxwell: oooh I love the laying stretch with the head flip. Makes the humans go wild, they can't resist the Maxie bellie!
ReplyDeleteI like to do the lying stretch the best, but I stretch on the cat tree sometimes too.
ReplyDeleteI like laying down and stretching out all the toesies where they splay. Yeah that's a good stretch.
ReplyDeleteBoth Scooter and Alice stretch out lying on their backs and looking twice their size.
ReplyDeleteThunder does a Quill style standing stretch, gracefully falls to the ground, rolls and does a Greyson style laying stretch--often trying to touch his tail to the top of his head. Someday, I expect he will.
