What are your favourite physical exercises or activities?
Unfortunately the only exercise that I’m permitted to do, whilst recovering from my operation, is walking, five times a day. I started with five minutes each time, and this week I’m on six.
Cat Daddy laughs at me for logging each five-to-six-minute walk on Strava, and says that the triathletes and desert marathon runners will think I’m ridiculous for logging such paltry efforts. Luckily I couldn’t give a shite what they think.
Louis Catorze however, has more than compensated for my inactivity by INCREASING his physical output. Yes, I know that it’s the opposite of what most normal cats are doing at this time of year. No, I don’t understand it.
This is what he’s been up to since I’ve been back from hospital, and they seem to be his new favourite things to do:
- Demanding to play with his pink butterfly on a string, every single morning.
- Attacking the hot water bottle that my sister sent me as a get-well present (see below).
- Kicking over my bucket of used blood-thinning injection needles as he pitter-pattered/parkoured around the bedroom at whatever time of night it was.
For an old boy of fourteen and a half, he’s doing all right. I’m being absolutely run ragged trying to keep up with him, but then it’s never been about me, has it?
