The Art of Box Sleeping

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..

Hi Sweetie! Thank you for the birthday wishes! Love all of these kitty pics!! Mallory brought a male kitten (older) home with her when she moved back in a few months ago and he is just so much fun. Our other cat is getting mature and doesn't have the energy he used to! What would we do without our furry friends??

Hope you had a great day and evening today!
Love you bunches,
Becky

Very funny. As an owner of many cats over the years we have seen just about every one of these techniques.

Have a lovely day!

We haven't had a cat for quite a few years- and Shmoopy slept on a favorite chair!

Thanks for sharing these pics and the smiles.
and thanks so much for your kind comments:)
