Flossing, April 27, 2015 version

So, I got down on the floor to floss again.  Before I was situated, Taki was on my abdomen. I had to move her off so I could get situated, but she was right back on my abdomen.  At first, she watched my foot move, so her butt was in my face, but after a while, she turned around, and faced me.  I was able to pet her face for the several minutes that I flossed. When I was done, she moved readily off my abdomen so I could return to my other activities.

I do not get this. Why she likes this activity, but she does.  She also likes other activities, including joining me when I am on the toilet. She is less enamored of the shower, but sometimes joins me in the bathroom when I am showering.

It is a mystery.

Flossing

There is a physical therapy exercise that I do almost every day that is called flossing http://www.ehow.com/way_5622784_sciatic-nerve-flossing-exercise.html.  Basically, I lay on my back, support my right leg on a wedge, and use a belt to move the leg, from the toes, back and forth. I do this for 5 minutes, and use a timer.

Taki likes the exercise. She likes to get on my torso/abdomen and just lay there, her butt facing my face, and just watch the movement of my foot. Sometimes, when the timer sounds, she scampers off.  Sometimes, she sits there and watches my foot, although I am no longer flexing it. Usually if she does not move when the timer sounds, I just lay there and let her look at my foot. I am not sure what she is looking for, but if she is happy, I am happy.
