Let sleeping cats lie...

Let sleeping cats lie... in the most artistic poses. Or alternatively here's a rival for pancake-balancing bunnies, the ancient western art of Cat Buckaroo!

Unexpectedly pleasant to view.

Cat Buckaroo... that's awesome. I'm going to abuse my sleeping cats in that fashion right NOW.

I sort of collect pictures of sleeping/laying cats. These are some nice ones!

Not only are cats skilled in sleeping positions, I also believe they're the worlds foremost experts on stretching technique. If you ever want to see how a stretch is really done, just watch a cat.

The faceplant on food is pretty intense. Nice followup, too, p.t.!
In case there's still one person out there who hasn't been to ratemykitten -- go. You're welcome.

Oh . . . oh God. Oh God. That's so cute. That is so fucking cute. I can't function any more, they are too damn cute!

I thought mine slept in weird positions, but it's nothing compared to some of these. One of mine likes to sleep on his back with one paw covering his face.

I am allergic to cats, and I prefer dogs. That is why I only have 4 cats in my house.

My cats are filled with rage and hatred because it is raining. If I were to put stuff on them they would kill me in my sleep.

What? How does this rate a FPP? I mean it's just a bunch of pictures of people's cats, what's so special about...

What I mean to say is...

You see, I....

AWWWWW! How cute!!!

I give up, it's great. This is better-than-the-average pet photo page, it's the captions that did it for me. (And the hanger photo above is even better....)

Absolutely adorable. I'll contribute moving day, and card shark.

Oh, and may I suggest a better name for Cat Buckaroo:

Catamari Damacy!

(Oooh, I'm going to catch it for that one.)

Hah, makes me want to go home and observe my cat more closely... interesting critters for sure.
