I always believed that cats can displace their own mass to change their size...after all, how else could I explain how this:



becomes this:




We've dubbed it his "flat-cat" pose, since he's not draped off Mike at all...he just flattens himself into a giant orange pancake.

LOL, love it!!
I think Solomon does that too, I always do a double take like "did he gain a ton of weight and i didn't notice??" and then he gets up and is slim and then sometimes he is normal

I couldn't stop laughing when he did it - he just looks so silly.


To be fair to the big guy, though, this is a HUGE step for him. Wendel has serious social anxiety when it comes to interacting with people so Mike and I were so happy to see him starting to go lap-cat on us.

Our Bitty is like that but he starts out as a BIG boy at 18 pounds! We likes to spread himself out in doorways and hallways. His new name is Speed-Bump as he blends into the carpet and we often trip over him. Doesn't seem to bother him though as he just keeps on sleeping.
