“Time spent with cats is never wasted.” ~Sigmund Freud 

The world is split into two groups—people who have cats and cats who have people.

While there is the age old debate over whether dogs or cats make the better pet, cat people know the truth.

There is nothing better than sharing our lives with a fluffy four-legged little beast that just won’t leave us alone to do anything—especially yoga.

When cats see us roll out the yoga mat they know that they are in for some serious playtime. And when we lay down in shavasana they help us release our breath from our heart chakra by crawling atop us and resting on our chest.

Sure, sometimes it can be annoying. There is nothing worse than being in lotus position only to have our furry friend hop on top of us, thinking they are going to get a free ride.

But like anything in life, it is what we chose to make of it.

So instead of battling against the cat, let’s go with it and make yoga play time with our cat even more enjoyable.

Because cats deserve to do yoga too.
