You may be wondering why I am looking so irritated in this post. It is because Ichiro is making faces at me just out of the camera range. I do not like it when he does the tough boy stuff. I have to do the Tough a Tabby stuff right back!
At any rate, yesterday I helped Momma with her work out. She walks on the treadmill and I walk all over the handle area and the timer and press my head against her chest to get her to rub my ears. Then I show her my behind so she rubs my back. Then I turn around again and again. Yesterday I turned off the treadmill when she was nearly done so she had to walk a little longer. You know how pounds come on during the holidays.
At any rate, she is going to be gone a lot again this week. I know it means more money for foods and stuff, but I miss my Momma! Aren’t holidays supposed to be about family?!
My mom is so jealous of your mom’s ability and persistence to get some exercise. My says that maybe if I weren’t so lazy that she could get some exercise, too. I turned my floofy pantaloons on her and walked away.
Theese is excellent that you are your Momma’s personal trainer. Good on ya! If I trained my Human, I’d probably be quite a toughie…
That’s the idea — don’t let that Ichiro think he can dominate you! You can be as tough as he is.
Hi pretty Gemini. My Mom, when she does do it, exercises on a treadmill at our community center, so I don’t get to participate. But I will do the same kind of thing if she is on the computer.
Well at least you have quality treadmill time. Hey, if she carries you while she treading, your weight will add to her workout – plus, she can squizzle you while she’s treading!
My human exercises by using those DVDs where she “dances” (read: stomps around like a clumsy ape) all over the living room! I don’t like it when she does that – she takes up my whole play area! So I give her the same look you are giving Ichiro when she pulls out one of those DVDs.
Hi Gemini, that Ichiro sure is a pain, isn’t he? You just keep being a Tough Tabby back at him!!

We think you look lovely, Gemini, not really that irritated at all. (You should see our Annie’s crabilated looks.)
Kudos to your mom for (a) having a piece of exercise equipment and (b) actually using it for something other than a clothes rack!
We are impressed that yoor mom is so dilly-junt abowt exercise! But it’s sad she hasta werk so much, when she could be wiv yoo.
That Ichiro sure can ruffle your furs, Gemini! You really shouldn’t let him get to you. Can’t you just ignore him and walk away?
You sound like such a good snoopervisor when your Mom is exercising. I’m sure she couldn’t do it without you!
Mommy is impressed that your mommy works out. What is a New Years’s Resolution? That is what Mommy says is when she will work out. Next year!
Work out? What’s that mean, I’ve not heard that term around these parts! Yep, you do look a wee bit ticked!!!
Oh Miss Gemini!
OH MISS GEMINI!!!
How absolutely gorgeous your furrs look in this picture. I can see by the position of your ears how put off by Ichiro that you are. I think you are doing a fabulous job of being a tough tabby!
I will come over and keep you company while your Mom is gone.

Sounds like a fun workout. We are afraid of moms treadmill, we tried walking on it wit her and we end up flying off onto the floor. We’ll have to try the top part of it. Love your photo!
How mean to leave you alone. Maybe it will help if you think of the goodies she’ll be bringing you so you can munch while she works out.
What is it with the pesky little brothers…making faces and stuff out of camera range and then when the camera is turned on them, they’re total suck-ups! Then everyone oohs and aahs at their cuteness meanwhile you know the ugly truth behind the lens. Sweet sisters need to unite against pesky kittenish brothers!
Hmm… yes, you do appear to be quite crabillated, Gemini dear. Why not come over and we’ll have a nice bowl of catnip tea, just us girls.
