Wherever I Lay My Cat, That's My Home

Gail and I are currently moving some furniture around in our house and doing a bit of a spring clean.

Oscar though wasn't too impressed, as he had lost (for now) one of his usual napping places.

Still, it didn't take him that long to find another. Our upside down pouffe to be precise. So it seems that a cat can sleep just about anywhere.

Forty Winks

Here's another photo of Oscar asleep. He sure does love dozing and really does make sure that he is really comfortable while he's doing it.

I don't know how many hours in the day he does sleep, but it's certainly a lot more than me.  Maybe because a cat only lives around 10 years, while a human it's 70. So perhaps one day for us is equal to a week for them. Maybe there isn't any truth in my idea, but maybe it explains why Oscar sleeps for about three quarters of a day.

Sleepy Time

Our little Oscar. You must agree that he is so photogenic. I  just can't seem to stop taking photos of him. Especially when he's sleeping like a baby, and snoring quietly to himself.

Sleeping On The Job

Here's another shot of Oscar in the Land of Nod. Curled up on a wicker chair and using the arm as a pillow.

He was snoring at one point, which made me turn round and look at him. A gentle little snore, with a bit of a whistle. So I just had to take his photo.

Maybe next time I'll video him in action.

The Bear Necessities

Oscar asleep again on the settee.

This time he's using the cats' teddy bear as a pillow.

Sweet dreams Oscar!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

What's better than having a doze on the sofa during Sunday afternoon? Well maybe snoozing whilst cuddled up to one of your favourite soft toys.

Oscar looks like he is really comfortable resting with Horace the teddy bear.

No cat was disturbed whilst this photo was taken.

Another Forty Winks

It's not just Oscar that's found a new place to sleep, Marmalade's got one too. Inside a cardboard box which we've stored in the garage.

Marmalade snuck into the garage when I was putting my bike away this evening. I knew he had gone in, but decided to leave him in there for a while, as he does like to have a bit of "me time" away from everything.

Some time later Gail called me, as she had opened the garage door and saw mim dozing in the box, that had some paper packing in it. Fortunately he was facing the garage window, so I could take a photo of him through the glass. Doesn't he look cute with using one of the box flaps as a pillow.

Sleeping Beauty

Since rearranging the furniture a bit in the living room, Oscar has found himself a new spot to relax and watch the world go by.

He has really taken sitting on the top of the sofa and looking out of the window. And when he's had enough, he just lays down and has a good forty winks. And yes, I've even heard him storing!

Sunday Siesta

A dull afternoon here in Beeston, and Marmalade thinks it is better to have a nap on the settee, instead of going out in the cold and wet.

Wise cat.

Let Sleeping Cats Sleep

Here's Oscar, the youngest of our two cats, being four. Marmalade will be ten in May.

Of course being a cat, Oscar likes two things in his easy life, namely eating and sleeping. So here he is sleeping, probably after one of his many visits to his bowls of food.

Cat Day Afternoon

Well it's fortunate that we had our barbecue yesterday, as all its done today is rain. Rain, rain, rain. I'm not sure that it's even stopped.

Marmalade has been sleeping in one of the chairs that we have in our study room, whilst as you can see, Oscar has made himself very comfortable on our bed and surrounded by laundry.

It sure is a cat's life. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'm coming back as a cat. Eating & sleeping. The two best things in life.

Marmalade

As most people know, besides eating, cats like to sleep. And Marmalade sure does love his naps.

He changes his favourite place to sleep every so often, whether it in his basket, on a chair or in this case, his new spot near the top of the stairs.

I took the first photo, as he looked so content, although he was aware that I was taking his photo. A little later I went back, and he had changed position and was well away, even though his feet and tail were hanging over the edge of the stair.

In a Quiet Country Churchyard

Being in the churchyard of Southwell Minster, I hope this old chap is just snoozing in the sunshine, rather than awaiting his maker!

It was so quiet, even though there is quite a busy road a few yards away. It was that quiet, that I didn't even hear a bird tweet.

I trust he enjoyed his nap and didn't get sunburnt. Maybe he then wandered off to one of the local pubs for a well earned pint.

Talk To The Paw, 'Cause The Face Isn't Listening

Whilst getting ready for work this morning, I couldn't help but stop and take a photo of Oscar, sleeping on our bed.

He looked so cute, laid out with his paw over his nose. I don't think I've seen him do that pose before, so I just had to capture it for all you cat fans out there in Bloggingland.

Oscar was also waiting for me when I got home. No asleep, but wide awake and sitting on the garage roof.  So of course, out came the OMD. F1.8, so I could get the lovely bokeh of the trees behind.

Let Sleeping Cats Pose For A Photo

Here's Oscar, having a Friday afternoon siesta.

He likes his snoozes does Oscar, and of course loves being comfortable. And what could be more comfy than snuggling up to one's teddy bear?

I heard him snoring too. Not very loudly. Quite a cute little snore, while the end of his tail gently flicked from side to side, like he was conducting an orchestra.
