This cute kitty doesn’t care if he looks a bit silly, because he’s having the time of his life!
It’s that time of week when the you’ve either climbed the proverbial work-week hill (hello everyone on our side of the world!), or are just setting off on your way up (and good day to you!), depending on your time zone.
For anyone feeling particularly frazzled at this moment in time, take a minute or two to watch this video, then streeeetch, and relaaaaaax. And if you’re already slipping into weekend mode… actually, I recommend you do the same! Bonus points if you can get your partner, friend, or bemused stranger to scratch your underarms for you (maybe not so relaxing if you’re ticklish).
Clearly this adorable feline knows he’s got it going pretty good. The technique might not be quite on a par with professional pet massages, but the results sure speak for themselves.
If such a contented kitty can’t put a smile on your face, then it might be time for you to just call it a day and hit the sack. Or maybe see if any of these other lil furballs can cheer you up. Remember, tomorrow’s Thursday which means it’s almost Friday, which means it’s almost the WEEKEND!
