Let it never be said that my boys leave things alone to stagnate. They do like their routine – they are cats, after all – but the beds situation is still in flux.
Fang looks pleased that Bugs isn’t taking his head off, as is usually the case when he strains Bugs’s patience to the limit. Bugs may look a tad (just a tad?) resentful — but really he’s just very sleepy.
You would think for sure, though, that separation of head from body would be the result with Fang’s interpretation of the bed theme here.
Here’s another variation: The Leg Over.
Even so, some sleep was – amazingly enough – accomplished.
But the spillover effect became somewhat worrying.
And in the end, Top Cat keeps solo command of Long Bed.
The next sleep cycle, one of my favorite things happened. I’m on the computer and here comes Bugs. That memory-foam pillow you see, above and below, is Bugs’s favorite biscuit-making site. He worked that pillow for a spell and then settled down with his back against my leg.
The tail! That tail! Perfection. I want to paint with it. Well — maybe not.
What a body has to go through, to get some sleep around here.
There is nothing quite like sleeping cuddled up with a cat. There is also nothing like being bitten, pounced on and wet-nosed while in the lower realms of sleep. It’s double edged sword, this cat-love!
The yin. And the yowl.
The yin and the yowl—Love it!
Thank you, dear Christine! I’m rather taken with it myself. Maybe my next post . . . .
It’s not a post – it’s a BOOK!!
Would that it were so. One day?
I’ll hold you to that missy!
Probly the only way it would ever happen . . . .
They teach us about the power of being present in the now, don’t they? We just have to stop everything and enjoy their presence around us. Or take pictures of them!
That gif you made is amazing, huh? And the ‘leg over’ position is new for me, never seen my 2 cats that way.
So true, dear Ivy! I had other plans for what to do with my time, but when Bugs favored me like that, well — time to be still and breathe and be happy like that. Moments like that are too precious to skip over and slip away. The gif was so fun, thank you for enjoying it — I saw it happening as I was taking the two stills. And the leg over, well I mean really, I ask you! What a nerve, no?
Oh, yes, the nerve!
My favorite shot is the one where Fang looks like he’s about to fall out of the bed backwards! Cats are surely gravity defying creatures, are they not!?!
Aren’t they just. Quite amazing.
That looks like a comfy spot to sleep. Hope it’s not your bedtime soon because that kitty isn’t’ moving!
Not until the fullness of time passes. And then — moves. For no reason. Cats.
We say the shelf needs to be widened. And we will not be denied!
)))shiver(((
The hot furry bod against the leg seems to be a favourite position, generally! Another, is the leg over
Crazy. Cats.
This snuggling behavior in summer, yet!! With the other bed available right next door. Amazing animals. And you did a wonderful job of socializing them
What is it about the bed right there! I just don’t get it! Well — Fangie does seem to be a guy who loves close contact. On his terms, of course. As for the socializing — I just followed Jackson Galaxy’s articles and advice as closely as I could . . . . and I just love these two guys like the very dickens. And not to mention, I have immense confidence-boosting advice and presence from Teresa and the Tellington-Touch expertise. . . . and they still do fight big-time now and then. Plus — luck, too? Who knows? The saga continues.
Just lovely! The tail, the paws, the leg over, the sharing of space (both cat and cat, and cat and human). So glad for you all.
Thank you, dear Wazeau. It’s been a great ride so far. So glad you’re here with us.
