Snow Sez by T. Shepherd for March 05, 2024

An ice pack helps too!

Snow’s not wrong.

Yay! Snow is back! Snow has the envy of so many of us mere humans who only can dream of being able to do that!

Sweet dreams, Snow! Hope your back feels better.

That stretch would help my back when it hurts. It’s a good day when there’s a new Snow Sez!

Wish I could stretch that much; I’m luckily if I can just lie flat.

Hope your back feels better Snow!

TOEBEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the Cat Yoga.

Winky would cooperate also!

nothing like a good cat-stretch.

I have one cat that loves to sleep like that.

That just made me laugh out loud!!!

Feline orthopedics.

I’d love to try that stretch, but I’d never be able to get back up again. LOL

Oooh, cat yoga! Stretch it out, Snow!

My Tyler is known as our Pretzel cat due to the weird contortions he can do.

Mmmm. Warm basket back set.

Ahhhhh!!!! BIIIGGGGG Stretch!!!!!!

You can’t make an omelette…

Only in a warm environment. Otherwise, a closer connection with the laundry itself is preferred.

I’m glad you found a comfortable position to ease your back pain. I hope your human is understanding!

Apply warm laundry to that sore back.

Cats have more verterbrae than we do. I always wince when I catch one of my cats sleeping in a position I can only describe as “fallen from a great height”. She’s perfectly happy, though.

Fortunately, cats rarely get back pain.

Having no collarbone, they cannot be yoked to carts.

When they fall, the extra vertebrae provide additional spring action to cushion the landing, which is why they automatically reorient in midair to land on their feet. I have seen video of a cat jumping from the top of a telephone pole and racing away.

Humans are the one who get back pain. Our upright posture has a lot of advantages for us through our reproductive years (the only years evolution cares about) but our tendency to gain weight and reduce exercise as we age leads to many, many back problems.
