Feline Friday: It's a Sploot!

This post was originally scheduled for the Friday after Thanksgiving but it didn't get published. Oops! Luckily, sploots can happen at any time of the year. Read on...

A remarkable thing recently happened at our house: 
We had a SPLOOT!

What the heck is a SPLOOT?

 According to this highly technical information found online:

A SPLOOT is a type of stretch that some pets do. Although it's typically associated with corgis, many types of dogs AND CATS (!!) can sploot, too. This special stretch is defined as a pet lying on the belly while stretching the legs out behind.

Here's a typical sploot, as perfected by this adorable corgi:

Now take a look at Lily's first attempt at a sploot:

Lily was so comfortable sleeping on my lap that she stretched her front legs (which I usually refer to as her ARMS) out in front of her, as usual...but then she extended her back legs, too!

Not bad for your first sploot, Lily! 😃
Who knows if we'll ever see a sploot again at our house, but it was sure cute while it lasted!

Happy Feline Friday! 
Be on the lookout for SPLOOTS today!
