I think you need to do it more slowly and only stretch until you feel a slight pull. No one really wants to feel the burn. A for you.
Do you have Siamese cats? I like them because their personalities are not the typical kitty types.

Yes, right now we have three.
I have had siamese cats all my life, and I prefer having at least one.
I love the chatter I get from them, I hear how their day went, “feed me now”, etc. You can have conversations with them, and they’ll answer you back. At least mine do. I guess that’s because I have always talked to them like they understand every word I say.
We also have some rescues, and they are picking up the actions of the siamese, along with some of the chatter. I guess that’s because they live with siamese.
It’s really quite wonderful to have a house full.
And the best part, we never come home to an “empty” house.
