Fitness goes furry as cats try paws at aerobics
SUSAN LOESCH
It probably won’t surprise anyone for me to tell you that that when I work out I like to be surrounded by other people who love animals in general and cats in particular. For years I have worked out at Susan Brown’s Jazz Movement at the Calvary Family Center in Pulaski Heights.
I’ve so often said to Barney and Shadow and the rest of the library cat staff while rushing out the door, “See you later, guys, I’m going to class” that I thought it would be fun to show them where I go and what happens there.
Barn and Shadow are getting pretty used to our field trips now, and both were handy when I pulled out their new fatigue-print bandanas for the occasion. (more…)
