It's What We Cats Do


 It's not uncommon for me to go upstairs and curl up for a nice long nap on mom and dad's bed, and one day recently dad came up and found me wedged comfortably between their pillows.

With some of the temperatures we've had lately, I figured this was a good spot for me to tuck myself away all toasty-cozy to snooze away the day.
Dad says I look grumpy. Do I look grumpy? Do I care?

And while we're on the subject of snoozing, dad wanted to toss in some pictures of me nodding off on the footrest.

Nothing spectacular, I tried to tell him, but apparently, he and mom had a good giggle watching me fall asleep this one night, my head slowly, slowly sliding downward and off the edge of the footrest.

If this is their idea of entertainment, I'd say they need to get out more, wouldn't you?

Smudge one of the common misbeliefs humans have is that we cats are supposed to entertain the humans. Especially in this bitter cold winter they need a little live entertainment. Now me, I'm either under the bed or in my bed tent where they can't look at me without getting on their hands and knees and bugging me. I try not to be too entertaining. Precious

Oh Smudge, you seriously make me howl with laughter!

Smudge, you are experiencing the things we cats have had to tolerate since tie began. We are the chief entertainers in their lives. Guess we gotta pay for kibble and stinky goodness somehow. *treats? Did you say treats??*

Doing something different is a good thing and it makes the humans wonder what's up. Keep them on their toes.

Have a purrfect day and week. My best to your peeps. ☺

That inter-pillow spot looks perfect for a nap or three, Smudge!

And no, you do not look grumpy. Just beautiful!

Purrs,

But you are so adorable sweet Smudge! We would stay home just to watch you too.

You're just so adorable, Smudge. We're pretty sure that's why Mom and Dad are so entertained by you, even when you're snoozing!

Be glad they are home watching you, there's no knowing what trouble they could get into if they got out more where you couldn't keep an eye on them.

If I had been as limber and agile as Madi I would have slept in all her favorite places too. You felines know the best places to sleep
I like the one between the pillows today

You're a handsome cat, Smudge. You need your beauty sleep just like us humans do. You just look so cute doing it.

That's my idea of entertainment too! It cracks me up to see cats fall asleep like that, like you're too tired to hold your head up. As if cats do anything to get THAT tired! MOL

Java Bean: "Ayyy, I like a nice pillow fort too! Or a bumper bed!"
Charlee: "Watching you slide off the footrest was their entertainment for the evening? I guess maybe the Internet was down so there was no Netflix to watch?"

I'm sorry to disagree, dear Smudge, but the antics of you and your ilk make staying home the best. :D Here we think so-called 'cat TV' is about humans being entertained. lol And us entertaining our girls is like a bonus. Be well!

You look cute and comfy wherever you sleep!

Cats always can find the best resting places

Smudge, between the pillows is the most epic place to sleep, just ask Parsley, that's his favourite night time snooze spot!

The J-Cats said...

We entirely agree with you, Smudge. Between the pillows is the purrfect place for a snooze - or else under the duvet. Right across the middle of the bed, of course.

I apologize for posting a second, and third time, but you make me go Squee!

You and Roary have such similar snoozing styles!
