Cat sits like a flamingo

My half-Siamese kitty Woog will often sit on slightly forward hind legs with her right front leg up and resting her "elbow" on her right "knee" with her paw tucked close to her tummy.

I first though she was just holding the paw up but one time I felt the front leg (or "arm" as I like to call it) and realized she was really resting it on the back leg.

I have never seen another cat do this and I have been around many cats. My other two cats do not do this.

She seems to be quite relaxed and content when she does this as she squints her eyes in classic Siamese fashion and will sit like that for a minute or two. Maybe she is meditating or doing her kitty yoga?

I always says she is "shaped-shifting" into a flamingo or that she has "turned into" a flamingo.

Just a cute weird behavior. I have a picture of her doing this but unfortunately it is not digital - I have to get it scanned!. :)
