Where do your cats like to take a nap???

Amber Louise and Mollipop in the catnapper in the bedroom window.....



One of BooBoo's favorite spots is the litter bench. The litter box is inside. He likes to perch on top so that he can survey his world.



When we installed the bay window in the living room, one of my GFs made a pillow for the kids out of one of our old bed sheets and some matting. They approve of the pillow and, on sunny days, we'll always find several cats napping in the window.



Put a queen-size pillow on a stand and the cats will come! Here's Mollipop in the computer room. It's just an old stand with a pillow. All the cats love it. They'll spend hours staring out the window in the summertime.



Here's their kitty couch.....yes, it's kind of bare, isn't it?



But see what happens if you drape a throw and some pillows on the couch? Instant napping place! Here's Ms. Pepe taking a well-

deserved nap. All of the cats love to nap on throws...it's warm and cosy for them.



Another of Boo's favorite napping places....it's an old wicker clothes basket with a queen-size pillow inside. We have it next to the register in the living room. He loves it there. We've had as many as five cats curled up in that basket at one time! Here's Boo with his mom, Whisper, lying behind him.



Here's another favorite spot....their green "Quiet Please" pillow. It's been taken over by every cat at one time or another. When Tabby came into the house, it became her pillow for quite a while.



And sometimes more than one cat! Here's our Rainbow Baby Banshee with Whisper and BooBoo napping together around the pillow.



Thanks for looking!

What great napping places!!

All of my cats like to nap on their cat trees.  We have two and they tend to pile up wherever we are...



Of course, the basket bed is a favorite too...



Stealing Rosco's bed is always good too...(helps that it is right in front of the fire!)



The new hammock has been a huge hit...



There is always OUR bed...



And when they don't want to be there, they just curl up in the middle of a stuffed snake on one of the kids beds ;)



If all else fails...they just pass out on the big fluffy white rug in front of our woodstove.  :)

Tails really likes sleeping on my other pillow



But he's just as happy balancing atop the couch cushion

Aww I think kitties napping are some of my favorite pictures to take.

My bed is definitely their favorite spot, I have to fight to have somewhere for me to sleep sometimes.

Boo and Annabelle napping while I pack to move.



Panda Chip and Bailey sleeping in my bed as little kittens



Not the bed, but these 3 love sleeping in piles, again as kittens squeezing onto the cat tower together



All big now sleeping together at the end of my bed



There are some pillow theifs in the house too



Zoe being cute on the pillows



Annabelle last night sleeping beside me in bed



I have a ton more of them in their other favorite place a little pet bed, but I will spare you on more pictures.

Even though I woke her up by lifting the covers.. Cassie enjoys sleeping under my comforter, often between my legs or pressed against my back:



Monet likes to sleep on the back of the couch:



And both like to sleep on the couch:



And that very rare mood to sleep on me:

A few of Bowser's favorite spots.

He loves sleeping on blankets and pillows on the floor. If there aren't any around, he'll lay on a pile of laundry instead.


Back at my old house. Both boys had their own chairs to nap on.



He is mostly found sleeping on his kitty perch by the window. I don't have any pictures of him actually sleeping on it, though!



And this is his new favorite lounge spot. I found a huge coffee bag at a scrap shop and wrapped some Christmas presents in it. Bowser loves it and sleeps on it every night now! I'm thinking about sewing it into a kitty bed and putting a pillow in it.

Here's some from when the kittens were little
Lion sleeping in my plant pot (no wonder I don't have house plants any more).


They seem to like sleeping on each other best


. . .or on mom

Like any other cat, Mooch likes to nap in the sunniest spot in the house:



She also likes to nap in this round cushion:

In my experience, there is a pecking order in a group of cats, and there are preferred sleeping locations around the house.  But those locations are time-sensitive.  In other words, the little cat condo by the back window is preferred in the afternoon, when the sun is on it.  The big bed is preferred at night.  And it gets very complicated.

I had dumped my laundry on the unmade bed, and this is what I found when I went back to fold it.
