What's your favorite cat pose?

Catarina, I think the look is just another male trait we have to deal with, like the remote growing out of his hand and not stopping to ask directions.

It's a good thing women are tolerant.:tounge2:

My cat is fascinated by shoes, too, even smelly ones. Go figure.

This is my all-time favorite pose of Joey, taken with my bargain basement digital camera. (<--- apologizing for "suck" quality of photo). He makes nappy time in this position everyday.

My favorite is also when my black and white kitty sleeps on his back w/ his paws in the air! He is really chubby, and w/ a white stomach, helooks like a marshmallow w/ legs.
My kitten does this really weird thing where she'll be standing up, but then she lays her head on the floor, and just plops over on her side and rolls around-it is so hilarious. Anyways, it's even funier when she will lay the top of her head down like she is about to do a somersault, but then she stays standing on her hind legs with her butt in the air. My fiance thinks she is the dumb one-poor thing..

Catarina-is that your cat in the pic w/ the beer and remote?? My fiance e-mailed me that pic a few weeks ago-I thought it was hilarious!!

Oh my... I think my Jake has the most unique poses. That cat can sleep in ANY POSITION!!! and he will to! I've seen him sleep stretched completely out with his front paws out in front as far as they will go and his back legs extended out behind him as far as they will go. He look sooooooooo long when he does that.. and it does look rather comfortable. I wish I could stretch like that and then fall asleep in that position.. it always feels soooo good when I stretch out as far as I can.

He will also sleep on his back with his front and back paws sticking straight up in the air. It looks sooo funny. Sometimes he'll sleep on his side and cover his face with one paw as if to say "Mommy turn out the light! It's hard to sleep with all these lights on!" He's so precious.

Bastian tends to lay on his side.. and Drew lays on his belly or curls up to Craig's side and snuggles. It's adorable.

OMG--Catarina--

Is the white cat with the remote and the Budweiser your Alex?

He looks exactly like my Alex!!!!

Same fur between the toes, same gray spot, everything.

If he's not yours, please, please let me know where the image came from. I can't beleive my little angel has an identical twin!

I haven't found the picture yet, Catarina. But that's probably 'cause I ended up looking at all the other cat pictures! I'll keep trying.

Mr. Alex has pale green eyes, very spooky at times. Sometimes when he stares at me I'm almost sure he can control my mind (Bring...Me...The...Catnip). He also has the ability to tilt his head to get his eyes to do the reflection-thing on purpose. I was stumped at first as to how he knew that the light was hitting his eyes the right way, but then I realized, he just tilts his head until he gets a reaction from me.

Attention all cat people! A recent study conducted by a panel of experts at a leading university reveals the "shining eyes" phenomenon which is often observed in cats is not reflected light. It is scanning taking place. "When you see that so-called 'reflection,' bear in mind you're being scanned," said one of the panel's experts. Cats can, indeed, read the minds of humans via their ability to scan; so it's deemed best to think nice thoughts whilst undergoing such scanning.

Joe; That would seem to explain how they always know EXACTLY what I am thinking. Also, how they ANTICIPATE what I will say and where I will be BEFORE I even know I am going. . . . .
:dali:
:bat :bat :bat :bat :bat :bat

AND Let's not forget their "Uncanny Ability" to communicate TELEPATHICALY with eachother; so as to always stay ONE STEP AHEAD of us humans ! ! !

well, now it all makes perfect sense.

Cat--
I wish I could put up a picture, but Alex's eyes don't photograph well. They just look like they do in his picture that i use as my avatar. Its just like him to be difficult...

AlexNell; I used to have the same problem with photographing my cats. It was my fault. Not that I claim to know anything about this, but if you are taking their picture with a 35mm camera; try adjusting the shutter speed. If that doesn't work, be sure you have the right "light sensitive" film. I am sure Nitecrwlr or some of the more knowledgeable photographers here could explain it better.

Alex is a beautiful cat, all the same!
We love seeing pictures of him.

Okay, my favorite position that Blackie gets into is lying on his back with that "pet me" look on his face. When we go to pet his tummy, he rolls over and arches his neck, because what he really wants is his neck scratched but he knows we can't resist that belly!

Sparky of course is such a little kitten still that all his positions look adorable. The kittenish ones are so cute and loveable, the more cat-like ones look like he is pretending to be a grownup. I like the one with the feet tucked under him, which we call "cat loaf" as in "he looks like a loaf of bread with a head".

But my favorite is any time he falls asleep on me! We all feel so honored when one of them decides to sleep with one of us. How goofy we are!

My absolute favorite cat pose is the two of them together, with Blackie on his side looking all motherly as he takes care of his kitten, and Sparky with his face against Blackie's tummy where he's been "nursing". Wish I could send you a picture of that!

I love your term "cat loaf"! When black-cat Tonya decides to ambush Michaela or otherwise zoom about the home, she pulls in her limbs and lays her head down on the floor (or whatever surface she's occupying). This posture is termed "The Black Torpedo." When she assumes her "black torpedo" position whilst on my lap, I have to prepare to feel those lovely claws as she launches herself into the air!
