Sit-Up Practice

January 19, 2020 By: Summer Samba48 Comments

somali cat getting ready for sit-up practice

I had some outside time this weekend, and my human thought this would be a good opportunity for some sit-up practice. Not because I’m not good at it — I am! It’s just hard to get me doing it in a photo. And with the daylight — even though it was later in the afternoon — she figured she could use a faster shutter speed. I was more than happy to oblige her. I get treats for doing these tricks, you know!

First, I just needed to focus.

Well, that looks really stupid! Of course, it is all my human’s fault. I sat up perfectly. She just timed the photo wrong.

She almost got this one right! I don’t look ready, though.

Okay, so this was more of a stand up than a sit-up, but she got it in focus! Only when we were done did she realize she left her iPhone inside so we couldn’t get any video. Maybe we will try that next time!

    “Crappy little hotel room”?? That’s not right! You should have the executive suite with the view of the harbor, treats on the pillow every night, and purrsonal turn down service! They need a good talking to. Don’t they know who is staying with them? Sheesh!!

    Had one male cat who stood up quite a bit and his little sister learned to do so. One plumber saw them and said – this must be the land of giant standing cats! Never realized it was so unusual. You look amazing in your outfit.

    It appears that you have that maneuver down pretty pat, Summer! All right. Now for your next challenge, you’ll learn a double back flip ending in a backbend with your right leg outstretched. Ready? And… go!!
