The first I’d ever heard of Catflexing was on my friend GloGirly’s blog. Catflexing is a way to incorporate your feline into your muscle flexing workout.
Seeing that Petie and I both needed to shed a few pounds, I thought this might be the perfect solution, and obtained a copy for myself.
The book authored by Stephanie Jackson, a doctor of some sort (unclear if an MD or PhD) has a 1940s vibe but was published in the 90s.
Haddie takes a closer look at Catflexing.
Skimming the intro, I decide to test-drive a few of the exercises and proceed to audition each of my three cats as potential partners.
It quickly became clear that not all cats are cut-out for Catflexing. Or maybe not all owners are patient enough to invest the time necessary to acclimate said cat(s) to the program.
Clearly this is an exercise I’ll never be executing.
What’s your take on Catflexing- bonding opportunity or cat torture? Have you ever tried working out with your cat?
If you’re interested in giving Catflexing a try, send photos and video my way (ihavecat@gmail.com), maybe you’ll have better results than I did!
Haddie’s last word on Catflexing. Book closed!
