Four of my babies love to sleep while cradled in my arms. A friend took this pic of Yon. The other "cradlers" are Ichi, Ni, and San. They are orphans found inside a plastic bag in a busy sidewalk, still blind and helpless more than a year ago. I bottle fed them, which may explain their fondness for napping on my lap belly up.

I am sure lots of you have your own "rockabye kitties".






PS: Not sure if this belongs in the picture forum or here.

I would rock my RIP Brownie, big tomcat, in the morning and sing him, "Lavender's Blue." He loved it. Cradle Butzie - you have got to be kidding!

Fred loved to be held like that. He would sigh and purr and wiggle trying to get even closer.
Scooter likes it sometimes, he will let me know when I am "allowed" to hold him like that. The others would rather be held upright or not at all.

until about a month ago my bottle fed baby Lucky slept like that, when she was tired she'd come lay on my lap tummy up. all of a sudden she thinks she's too big to snuggle Mommy

Lucy will do that. She starts out hanging out on my shoulder then flips over (expecting me to catch her).
