For What?

[todayiamadaisy]

I have been doing ten, fifteen minutes of stretching before bed recently. I find I sleep better. It's very restful. So there I was stretching last night, standing on one leg like a squat flamingo, when I felt something soft slinking around my ankle. Alistair. He weaved around my one leg until I changed feet, then he weaved around the other. I moved into a downward dog. I thought he'd gone, but after a few seconds I felt a solid thud on my skull as he gave me a head-butt. I picked him up and sat him on the computer desk, out of the way. I leant forward to stretch my hamstring. A little paw, claws slightly out, tapped on my head, pulling my hair. I lay on the floor. Alistair jumped down and stretched out, leaning his back against my leg, with his head at my foot. He started to lick his front foot. Finally, a bit of peace and quiet. I closed my eyes and stretched out. That was enough to disturb Alistair's bath, because he flipped over, put his paws, claws out, around my ankle and bit my toes, while his back legs rabbit-kicked against my thigh. In short: cat yoga is not relaxing.
