Since we're all cat people here, what is your favorite cat pose? I love when my cat is sleeping in a ball, with her paws covering her face. Sometimes I am convinced that she could answer any question I asked her, she looks so contemplative, if only I could find a way to get inside her head. Sometimes, she just sits or lays, looking at nothing specific yet very cool and collected, and I am sure she is meditating or figuring things out. No wonder we love cats, they are like living engimas, waiting to be figured out.

My Turtle (she's about 9 weeks now) loves to be on her back. she will flop over when she sleeps, and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen!

I love it when my cats sleep spread eagle on the floor. They look so innocent and trusting.

Since I have 2 cats, I have 2 favorites. Ok, 3.

I love to walk around the corner and see Squirt lying on his back with his little paws in the air waiting to get his belly rubbed. When he sleeps with his head down on the floor in front of him, it looks so cute. We call it "sleeping like a dragon".

Joey naps on a chair I have. He twists his little body in multiple directions at the same time. His little belly is facing up, and the fur is always messed-up looking. He looks so adorable.

I love to see my Socki, sleeping on his back waiting for a belly rub. And Chester is so cute when he is spread eagle on the back of the couch. Although any way they are positioned when sleeping is sooo cute, I just want to snuggle with them and alot of times I do.

It seems like a lot of your cats do the spreadeagle thing. My Tara does too, usually after she just stuffed her face. It's like she can't lay in any other way. She looks so sweet and content when she does it.

One of my favorite poses is when one of the cats is about to pounce o9n a favorite toy. The butt goes up in the air a gives several definite twitches until he makes mince meat of the toy.

One of my babies sits like a 'china cat' - feet tucked under in front.
The old spread eagle on the back is also a favorite.

Well I just posted to another post??? I'll just tell it again! Romeo sleeps with his arm stretched out with his head on top of it. Y'all know how kids in school will sit at their desks and sleep on their arm? It's so cute when he does it!!

I love your description of cats as "little enigmas"! It's so true!



My favorite cat-pose moment occurs when I've awoken after a nap on the couch (this happens at least once a day). Both Michaela and Tonya will have established themselves as body-weights to inhibit my ascending via astral projection or otherwise arising (or descending) from the couch.

:tounge2:

Cats are cute no matter what pose they are in!
My Sunni is a VERY fat cat (is on a diet now!) so she tend to sleep on her back with her paws up in the air.

Zebra tends to curl up and as she starts to nod off, her head would droop to the floor then she'd jerk her head up trying to stay awake. (8 months old).

I also love it when Zebra's getting ready to pounce on Sunni or me. She'd lay real low on the floor, start twitching her tail, her head goes low to the floor, her eyes opens real wide, she'd :censor::censor::censor::censor: her head from one side to another then SMACK! (pouncing on either Sunni or me).

I agree with you, Mr. Cat, a daily nap with kitty is great.

Just added a new kitten to the household. She is fascinated by our fish (30-gallon tank). She sits on the steps or the ledge of the table where we have the tank. It's so funny to watch her follow the fish back and forth. :tounge2:

The other funny thing is how my grown kitty always has to supervise when I am at the computer! It's kind of difficult to type with cat on lap, but I am learning.

Bren.1,

It's a lot TOUGHER to do computer work when a cat is laying on top of papers or books which u are using! That's what Sunni, my big, fat BUT adorable cat ALWAYS do. Whenever I start working from my computer desk, Sunni gets jealous so she ALWAYS come and knows exactly where to lay down- on the exact paper or book that I am using.
I would LOVE it if she'd sleep in my lap instead of laying on my books/papers!


I also AGREE about having a nap with cats. I LOVE It when they sleep with me. For the last 2 weeks, they have stopped sleeping with me
sooo I have taken to sleeping on the couch because they WILL sleep with me on the couch.
Shows how much I like having a cat sleep with me if I resort to sleeping on the couch, huh??!??

That's a good idea about fishies.. I might look into getting a fish or 2 to keep my 2 babies amused during the day. Hmmm...

I think one of my most favorite poses of all is when any cat at all kinda lays half way on her but and starts cleaning themselves with their feet out...it's so funny:LOL::laughing: and even funnier when they're a bit overwieght..it's so cute!!
The other is when the cats are on their backs spread eagle such as Alex here..


oh, and don't ya just love this carpet!!! :laughing: When I first bought this place the woman just adored lime-green....
I had to renovate...It was so scary! However, I can't complain, they were the nicest people
and they took really good care of this place too!
So, I got a great deal and knowing I was moving into a loving home
Well, here's one of my boys from long ago...
God Love Him He's in Heaven
Love &

Catarina - I love that picture! Muffy's never done that in her life. She likes to lay down with her legs all tucked under her. She looks almost legless. Sometimes she crosses her front paws like the little lady she is.

Catarina,

That picture is so hilarious :laughing: :laughing:
I assume the cat is a male, he has the same look my fiance gets when he's watching some TV shows. :laughing: :laughing:
