I recently sat with one cat on the headrest of my easy chair, one cat in my lap, and the dog on the footrest. I greatly lament that no one was around to capture that moment. And it proves your point, really. If it’s just the dog in my lap or on the footrest, it’s kind of a mildly annoying situation, neutral at best. But add in two sleeping kitties, and tada! You’ve got perfection. ---

Ginger kitty is cute. But B&W kitty has the cuteness of a leg dangle, so s/he wins the cuteness contest, IMO. ---

I dunno. Almost-sleeping kitties are cuter. Especially yawning kitties. Licking-each-other kitties are pretty cute, too. ---

OK, I thought of something cuter. Two of my cats will sleep in the front windowsill, facing each other, with their front legs wrapped around each other. The male will rest his head on the female’s head…THAT is cute. But they always wake up when I open the front door. ---

Yes, sleeping puppies. I accidentally deleted it, but last night I was the recipient of a picture of a big crate filled with blankets, chewtoys, and a pile of six(!) dachshund puppies, who had clearly had a very exciting day and were just (sorry) dog tired. It was the most adorable little bundle of ridiculously short legs and long ears you could ever possibly imagine. ---

My cat sleeps with his face mashed into the back of the couch or crammed between seats of the sectional. It’s the cutest thing ever. We periodically stop what we’re doing to go “Awww!” ---

And so would I; nothing to do with the fact that she’s my first cat, of course! ---

[My sleeping beauties.](http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sunbathingbeauties054bb.jpg) Sleeping cats are awfully cute, which is probably why we don’t boot them right in the ass when they’re being pains when they’re awake. 🙂 [Holding onto Daddy.](http://img341.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jimandmax1xi3.jpg) ---

How did you get into my parents’ house?! That looks like Nya when she was a kitten and Minnie. Cuter than sleeping kitties? When they’re sleeping on someone. ---

Okay, who wins between [leg-dangle and ridiculous position](http://www.flickr.com/photos/troubleagain/3033222914/)? Brown kitty is Rio, orange kitty is Punky.
