To allow her to face the stress of the last school weeks, I showed to Claire how to do a relaxing massage by rolling on the ground :
I didn’t see her rolling on the floor, but she understood well the notion of relaxing posture :
At this period of the year, the school governance meets several times to make the decisions of promotion of the pupils of 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade. The 11th grade students are taking their exams for their certificate. You’ll find links at the end of the article which will allow you to understand better to what correspond these various school degrees.
This week, we received the presents that we won at the giveaway of our friends from Katzenworld. We’ll tell you more next week !

Oh, that does look a nice clean surface to have a roll on, and thoughtfully provided with a raised edge too. Mom seems to have opted for the easier ‘Sift option’ Mol Though I note she has left you a place to sit yourself, and scope for you to give tummy massages too!

Such silly rolling around photos! I like to do that too, only on the carpet indoors. I’m not allowed outside.
Awwww the last photo was so cute that I’ll have to add it to our tummy rub tuesday blog roll with a link back to you. 😉
Thank you ! I am honored ! Purrs, Zorro
You had some good action there. It is good that Claire was able to relax too, even if she didn’t copy your rolling moves
Zorro, we think you are a great instructor! *We* sure would have followed your lesson to the letter.
You are a good teacher and relaxing is always a good thing!
Now that is one way to relax. Good lesson you gave your Mom. But she might be better off not to roll around. You all have a fantastic day.
i may have to try rolling on a sidewalk–looks like a good idea!
Somehow rolling around on stone does not appeal to the human here at at all! WE prefer the chair as well!
We humans have so much we could learn from you kitties!
too funny!! I wanna see your human rolling like you did!
Zorro, you’re an excellent role model for Claire. It’s always good to take some time to relax before beginning a stressful job.
You taught Claire well, Zorro.
It looks like Claire is learning. 🙂
I’m glad you are helping your human learn to relax, Zorro.
I will be honest, I think children in Switzerland get a better education than most of the kids in the U.S.
If oly our peoples would follow our examples!
I hope Claire follows better directions than my human!

Wow you won a prize, apart from your relaxed mum!! Envy!!!
You sure have some specialized rolls Zorro! No wonder you need to teach your Mom. Maybe she could do some rolls on the grass, that might feel a bit more pleasant for a novice roller in training, MOL, MOL!!
The school system you describe seems similar to what I know of the Dutch system. It is rigorous and the children learn things! Would that the school systems here were better at teaching, it seems to petcretary that often they are like daycare centers, esp the younger grades and even highschool these days. Sheesh. When she wet to school the teachers were the bosses as it were, and not the students!
dood…..ya gotz that chillaxin part down buddy…nice moovez ~~~~~ we noe claire iz happee skewlz windin down !! 🙂 ♥♥
Cats are the masters of chillaxin’!
Zorro, the rolls and back scratches are great. I often have a massage out on the concrete slab. Very good advice for Claire. I also see she listened and is doing the people version of the same. mol

Zorro, grr-eat roll picsI I sure hope Miss Claire takes your advice and uses your methods fur relaxing. I bet she would feel so-o much better if she did!
That is great that you are teaching Claire to relax Pixie!
Tell Claire we are sending her all our relaxing purrs and tail wags in the hopes that the last few weeks of school go smoothly for her 🙂

Looks like she learned quick, ZorroPawkisses for a wonderful day
Wow, Zorro! We relax just watching you! Of course, you’ve got the cute turned up to max!
Those are great instructions for Claire! We hope she followed them closely.
I hope that the end of school is wonderful for you. I saw this on our local news and thought you’d enjoy it.

Great ! She’s amazing ! Purrs
Claire looks very comfy. You must be a good teacher. Leave the bathing instructions to someone else though. 😉 High paws!
Humans just don’t seem to get the joy of rolling in the dirt! They should really try it.
You give great instructions Zorro. Big hugs
Luv ya’
