My poor Mommy is not doing too good. She’s been really nervous all week, although it wasn’t that noticeable if you weren’t paying attention. If you are paying attention though, well, it’s hard to miss the signs.

First off there’s the amount of tea she’s been drinking. The teakettle has been whistling all day long at all hours of the day. She’s drunk enough tea to probably fill the bathtub. Secondly, she’s very restless. She won’t sit still which makes trying to curl up in her lap, around her feet, or on her shoulders near impossible.

She’s also done other weird things too. Things which seem normal, but for Mommy they’re not. Mommy doesn’t always remember to put on the smelly stuff that makes skin smooth when she goes to bed. In fact, she rarely does, but every night for the past three days she’s been regularly putting on that smelly stuff humans call face cream. She removed all her old nail polish and then trimmed and buffed her human-claws to perfection. She mumbles to herself, she’s picked out a fancy outfit, ironed it, and placed it in a plastic cover-thingy to keep any of our hair off it too.

What’s the deal? I don’t really understand it myself. I know it involves some place called “court” that she’s gotta to on Monday and that she’s had to go before and this is the final time apparently. I know it might involve the green stuff too, because she’s been fretting over (and I quote) “…the ruling being against me, how will I pay?”. Mommy isn’t too clear on what it’s all about but she is very high strung right now. I devised an exercise for Mommy to help her relax and I think it’s helping as she does always seem to be laughing afterward. Here’s how you perform it:

Step 1: Roll onto your back while keeping your feet pointing to your right. Only your upper torso should roll. Feeling the relief yet? Just wait, it gets better!

Step 2: Now curl up your toesies and twist! Now your lower body should be completely pointing opposite of your top.

Step 3: Now, arch your back and begin uncurling your legs and feet, but be sure to keep ‘em in the same direction! Feel those pops? That’s the sound of all those kinks getting worked out! Be sure to bring your tail up to touch your cheek, this guarantees that you’ve arched to the maximum.

Now, doesn’t that feel good? All the kinks are out and you should be feeling as loose and flexible as a fish in water. Ooh, fish. I’m going to go get Mommy started on her exercise now so I can get her to fix up a can of salmon kitty food for me. Keep doing the exercise as much as needed and be sure to pass it on to your humans too!
