Any special places where your cats love to curl up for a nap?

The world is their pillow. On top of the kitchen cabinets 10ft off the ground, on their window perches, on me, on my computer tower, it matters not, heh!



They always sleep together, and typically in the same room I'm in though which is cute.

Hercules likes to sleep higher up, like the kitchen counters (on top of a pizza box if its available), the bookshelf, dressers and the back of the couch.
Gigi likes hidey spots where she isnt very noticeable. Right now the hot spot for both her and Ramsie is my blanket rack. The blanket in the middle turned into a nice fuzzy fleece hammock that they both curl up on.
Bacon and Ramsie though are mostly found whereever I am so the couch or the bed somewhere within a foot of me.

Since it's winter, our kids can usually be found snuggled on the electric blanket (which is always turned on High when we're home). When DH is in the living room to watch a show on tv, BooBoo and Whisper can usually be found in his lap. Mollipop is curled up in my arms in bed and Ms. Pepe is either sleeping at my head on the pillow or between my legs. Bootser stays around the foot of the bed. As long as the blanket is turned on, they're happy campers.

During the day if we're not home, the sun's angle in the winter is low enough in the sky that it will shine right in the living room window on the living room floor. The cats love to lie in the sun. We keep pillows and baskets on the floor so they're comfortable.

Topaz has a place on top of a plastic storage container that affords her a view of two windows for her daily naps.

Aristotle likes my bed, the top of the kitchen cabinets, and in the cabinet above the frdge.

But I was thinking of past kitties and offer these...

Tom Tinker would nap in the front window (open) on his back with all four feet in the air. Many visitors often asked if that cat was dead.

Sheba, when not knocking the potted plants off the shelf to express her feelings, liked the 9 inch pot with the cactus garden.

We had to stop hanging plants as we would often find a cat in them.

Magnolia loved sleeping against the back of my Dad's thigh. Well, until he passed gas one time and she refused to sleep with him again.

Tilly likes to sleep curled up in the laundry baskets in the closet where I store my not in season clothing (now its my summer clothes) She also loves to sleep in my softest sweaters and has been eyeing my purple cashmere sweater for weeks now I think she is plotting how she can get it off the shelf so she can sleep in it. She also loves to sleep on my black jackets for work and my students often laugh because they are covered in white fur! This time a year I find her stretched out along the heater in my bedroom.

Moo has 4 spots he loves to sleep in..one is his basket ontop of my dresser that allows him to look out my bay window in my bedroom. (my friend even asked me what was his obession with his basket) that is what I call his safety basket as you can clip his nails and people whom he would run from can pet him if he is in that basket.

When I am at my desk he loves my computer chair because of the pillow i have ontop of it. So if he isn't in the basket he is on my computer chair.

When I am in the living room he curls up on my love seat and gets really upset if anyone else or if I dare put a bag there..its his spot and he lets the world know it.

And he sleeps with me in bed at night. Curled up next to me. Tilly...will just sleep ontop of my head.

I've posted this a few times, but this truly is Stumpy's favorite place to sleep - snuggled tightly against our dog Sam:


The area that most of the cats congregate to sleep is on my bed. There is no point in ever making it:

Memphis loves to curl up in front of/under the radiators in my apartment. His body is almost touching the iron, and his legs are usually under the radiator. It makes me happy because he used to insist on taking naps in the coldest parts of my apartment (on top of the fridge less than a foot away from the kitchen window, which is very old and drafty). I used to puck him up and be shocked at how cold he was. Now hes my warm cuddly kitty, since he is much friendlier when he's warm.

Boxes, baskets full of clean laundry, on mom's and dad's clothes.

But, overall, Delilah's favourite spot is on top of a tiny little cat tree that's too small for her and so wobbly I'm afraid the post is going to pop off. I've bought new beds/platforms, and moved this one to the spare room with the intention of throwing it away, but Delilah loves it so much.

Bender has many spots though his favorite daytime spot is the kitchen table especially when its sunny. In the evening when we are in the family room both he and Bakker lay on the sofa table. Many magazines are on the ground due to this. They also fight over the best spot on the table-usually the one under the lamp.

Bakker likes to lay on any article of clothing. Last Sat when I took all the sheets off the bed and had all the covers in a pile he found my nightgown to sleep on!

The girls usually sleep together usually on the sofa or their pet bed.

I've got a few more pictures.
Goldy loves to curl up in anything that is small enough to keep her contained, including on top of the firewood kindling. How can that be comfortable?


When they were tiny the kittens usually ended up in a pile.

Her many heated beds, our bed, on people or dogs.

I know I'm coming to this thread really late, but here's Larry in his favorite place:



He usually goes here, under this pile of blankets and pillow, jammed up against the wall, when he's freaked out about someone coming in, or out in the hallway. But it also seems to be his favorite place to nap, as I can always find him there in the middle of the day, even if nothing has gone on to frighten him!

His favorite sleeping spot is the couch.
We purchased several types of lovely cat beds (a round soft type, a memory foam type, etc.) which he all rejected. We had to return them all because he just loves the couch.

This tread got me thinking about where my cats; past and present have slept. Which naturally led to the kitties of my friends and family too. That made me remember my Aunt's cat from when I was probably about 10 years old. They lived a few hours away from us so we didn't visit too often. I can't even remember the kitty's name; but he loved to sleep in a lower kitchen cabinet, right next to the cereal. He would open the door himself with his paw and hop up on the shelf in there. Then when he was done he'd just push the door open with his head! Somewhere around here I have a picture of him there; I think it was next to a box of Wheaties. I think I remember this all so well because I know he scratched me once when I'd disturbed him a few too many times! LOL (not a bad scratch; but he got his point across!)

Here each has their favorite, depending of the time of the day... Bugsy during the day time loves the top perch in the cat tree:

At night he sleeps with me, right next to me - by my neck... He waits for me to come to bed and jumps on...




Lucky likes the Shelves - that's her favorite, especially the top one...



Hope,during the day time whenever the windows are open, she can be found at the window sill... That is by far her favorite place!



Otherwise she is just wherever Lucky is - those two are joined by the hips!

Gracie LOVES her cat ham-mick! It is like a hammock for cats, and her favorite bed! Bugsy loves his too!





Bugsy also naps under the bed during the day around dinner time, but I think that is strategically so I can't get to him to give his meds...

Velvet's favorite spot is on my shoulder (like a little kitty parrot). She never scratches, just perfectly maintains her balance and falls asleep curled up on my shoulder, even if I'm walking around my apartment. She's done that since she was a tiny kitten; she's a senior kitty now. She loves to be carried around everywhere and will fall asleep in my arms or on my shoulderr all of the time; it's sweet! She does the same thing to my family when they visit.

Kojak and Isabella absolutely adore their cat tree. I put kitty beds inside of the carve outs on their cat tree and they love it!

Some amazing pictures here - thank you all so much, again. I'm going to use only a couple of these in the article, but will be using a few of the others in a special blog post and maybe on our Facebook page too - too good not to share, right?
