Confortable Ways of Sleeping in a Box

Use the box side as a pillow

Start from simple sleeping on your back...

or on your side

If you are longhair, use the benefit of your coat and tail.

Remember that you and your box must nearly amalgamate

Use your imagination: try S-like positions...

or C-like positions...

or even L-like ones...

If you totally trust your humans, relax your back legs to the maximum.

Sometimes O-like positions do not fit the box well, but you can always make an experiment.

If the box is rather small, try sticking your paws & tail out of it...

or stretch just one paw out, like this (back paw)...

or like this (front paw)...

Invite your friend to join you...

and enjoy it

Your humans may wonder how you can sleep like that...

ignore them and enjoy...

Perhaps they will not even notice you...

Try disguising to avoid unwanted attention...

or you can hide in an absolutely unexpected box...

This position is for experienced yoga cats...

as well as this one...

Even small boxes can do...

Be creative...

practice makes perfect. To get more experience, use as a box any structure you can find...

One Hungry Little Mouse!

The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire. The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded by the mouse's behaviour. He said: 'I have no idea where the mouse came from - he just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard.
'He didn't take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself. 'But the leopard was pretty surprised - she bent down and
sniffed the mouse and flinched a bit like she was scared. 'In the meantime the mouse just carried on eating like nothing had happened...

...but even a gentle shove does not deter the little creature from getting his fill... 'It was amazing, even the keeper who had thrown the meat into the enclosure was shocked - he said he'd never seen anything like it before.' Project owner Jackie James added: 'It was so funny to see - Sheena batted the mouse a couple of times to try to get it away from her food. 'But the determined little thing took no notice and just carried on.' Sheena was brought in to the Santago Rare Leopard Project from a UK zoo when she was just four months old. She is one of 14 big cats in the private collection started by Jackie 's late husband Peter in 1989. The African Leopard can be found in the continent's forests, grasslands, savannas, and rainforests.

...so the mouse continued to eat the leopard's lunch and show the leopard who was the boss. Just proves no one can push you around without your permission.

Parabéns aos meus Gatos

Nunca me esqueço do aniversário dos meus gatos, 22-06, mas este ano esqueci-me de publicar e partilhar convosco esse momento tão importante para a família. "Mãe" desnaturada. Bom, o que interessa é que no dia não me esqueci e eles tiveram direito a docinhos como forma de comemoração. hehehe
Brevemente irei colocar online mais umas fotos.
Até lá.

These are adorable... Cat lover or not they will make you smile...

Does this log make my butt look fat?

Betcha can't see me...

Oops! Slight miscalculation.

You go. I'll just stay here and rest my head a little bit.

It wasn't me! I didn't steal this bamboo shoot!
It was just sitting here, I swear it!

I'll give you 2 seconds to get off me or I'm calling Mom.

Pardon me but do you have a napkin?

Paparazzi! Could we have a little privacy please?

Dear Martha Stewart:
I have this brown stain on my nice, white, fluffy butt...
