Dream Diving Tips

Many cat athletes, or “cathletes,” dream of being Olympic divers, but even in fantasy settings good form is essential. The following photo illustrates many style errors: Arms should be straight forward, tail back to minimize drag, and both feet and toes should be together.

Black cat sleeps on a wooden floor, with its arms straight in front, tail extended, and toes stretched wide.
Definitely losing style points here. (Tumblr)

    The toes were the first thing I noticed!

      Same! I love it when kitties stretch open their toesies like that.

    This is my Storm’s doppelgänger down to the patch of white fur at the throat and on the belly, it’s uncanny!

    We all need a good stretch now and then. Even in fantasy dives.

    Kitty’s got a long way to go to reach this level!

    I have been laughing over this for a few weeks now. It never gets old.
