Siamese cat’s unique and balletic stretch when picked up

We don’t know how this sweet balletic stretch developed but develop it did and it looks great. I have never seen this before. It is unique. I’ll have a stab at guessing how it came about.

The lady picked up her Siamese cat and she decided to use that moment to stretch because when a cat is picked up in that way it automatically stretches the body. The cat enjoyed it and elaborated on the movement to make it a full blown body stretch. As she likes it so much the trigger to doing it again is when she is picked up. It’s like a combination of ballet and Pilates.

This is probably an example of self-training or mutual human/cat training. Someone will possibly feel like criticising the woman for picking up her cat is this way but I think it is fine. The cat enjoys it and I am sure that the she holds her cat like this for a short time.
