My cat likes to stretch himself out on the living-room floor in poses that suggest he's been flung there, perhaps from a great height. Other poses suggest that he's studying to be a contortionist. He has no self-consciousness about stretching himself into any position whatever.
If I could learn any lessons from him, they would be:
Be flexible.
Don't be afraid of looking silly.
Get comfortable.
If your antics entertain others, so much the better.
