Fiona Friday: Wrong-Way Treading

Fiona: "Hey, someone put the treadmill in reverse!"
Bookfool: Fiona's kidding, of course. The only time she's been on the treadmill while it was moving, she got a flying lesson.

  1. I'm surprised she's ever gotten on it again.

  2. Carrie,

    Aw, you know cats. They have short memories. She does stay away if it's on, though. :)

  4. Alternate title: "Does this treadmill make my butt look big?"

  5. Oh, poor Fiona. Although, I have to admit I'm laughing just thinking about it.

  6. Jenny,

    It was pretty funny. Fiona was a mixture of terrified and humiliated. I don't think she'll ever do that, again!

  7. Love the photo & caption. One of my cats used to love sitting on the seat of our stationary bike and look out the window. It isn't by a window anymore so he has had to find a new spot.

  8. She is adorable, but I bet if that thing started to move she would be hustling butt out of there!

  9. Wendy,

    Window seats are always favorites. My kitties seem to think the treadmill is a jungle gym. They climb all over it and they know they're not supposed to. You should see the guilty faces. It's a good thing they're so cute!

    Zibilee,

    Yep, she's had one bad experience when it was moving and she gives the treadmill a wide berth when it's in use, now!

  11. Great. A kitty who can read and fly. Now I really need to get Samantha going on some skillset.

    Of course, Fiona is better at getting on the treadmill than I. I suspect I'd have flying lessons, too, should I engage the d...n thing.

  12. Amy,

    I do believe she learned her lesson. LOL

    Bellezza,

    Well. . . . not really a skill set, as she has only gone flying the one time, but I thought she did an impressive job of landing on all 4 feet. LOL

    Oh, yeah, I've fought the treadmill, this week. Don't know what my problem is, but I've got to get back on it, today.

  13. Ya--I've tried that whole backward thing and it doesn't really work. ;)

    Your header picture is gorgeous! How I love YOUR pictures Miss Nancy.

  14. Trish,

    Disappointing, isn't it? Treadmill makers should know to put in a reverse feature.

    Thank you! I went on a "Sunset Blues and Barbecue Cruise" in Charleston. I think about 30 of us have that same exact shot of the bridge. I heard shutter noises going off everywhere, when I was taking my own. :)
