Sunday morning I decided to try out my new DVD purchase appropriately titled, YOGA FOR DUMMIES® (perfect for me).  I rolled out my mat, did a few stretches and fired up the DVD player.  For the next half hour, I twisted and contorted my body into different Yoga positions such as the Downward Facing Dog; Chair Pose and my personal fav, the Tree Pose.  Somewhere in between the Downward Facing Dog and the Tree pose, Manny snuck in and settled himself on the couch.  I think he was thoroughly entertained while watching me stretch and bend into all the various positions. I would’ve paid good money to read his cat mind as he was watching me.  Who knows what he was probably thinking. Perhaps he was thinking that he could do a better job. Here’s why:

After I finished and rolled my yoga mat up, Manny moved from the couch to the floor.  As I went to give him a little pat, I noticed something a little strange about Manny.  He was sitting on his hind legs with his tail straight out.  His left paw was touching the floor and (this is the weird part) he held his right paw in mid air (Think Karate Kid).  He held it there for several minutes before he gave up and decided to go play with Windex, the Algae Sucker. It later dawned on me that Manny invented a new pose!

I’ll call it the Three-legged Cat.
