In my opinion, awake kittens tend to be cuter than sleeping ones. Awake kittens give you kisses (with tongue). Awake kittens playfight with the resident grumpy cat. Awake kittens go ‘mew’ and have those irresistible round eyes. ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > [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) !!!

What’s weirder is that in another thread of cat pictures, a couple of years ago, someone posted a picture and it was the same couch that _I_ had. What is it with cat threads and matching Doper sofas?! ---

What is it with cat threads and matching Doper sofas?! I dunno, but the other night when I was cleaning up bloody pawprints\* on the hallway carpet, and the living room carpet, and the office carpet, and the kitchen floor, and the bathroom carpet, I said to Mr. S that from now on we should get only carpets that are blood-and-shit\*\*-colored, to hide the stains. Is your sofa the color of a freshly horked-up hairball? * * * \*It’s lots of fun bringing in two rambunctious dogs from outside, noticing bloody prints on the floor, and then trying to determine which one is bleeding, catch her, AND wrestle her into the bathtub. Oh, and we were already dressed to go out. We both did some fast stripping, let me tell you. \*\*Recalling an unfortunate diarrhea incident a few years ago that involved two weeks of medication and replacing several carpets. It was just easier to throw them out, trust me. ---

Yes, I love sleeping [kitties](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/CATinWI/mamababykitty.jpg)(not my pic). But I happen to think that sleeping[babies](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/CATinWI/Orion/_1OrionsBaby.jpg), holding “babies” are the cutest. _There sure are some die hard pet lovers around here…please don’t kick me off the board!_ ---

[Tasha (the grey one) and Bobby](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/srdje/cats.jpg). What I love about this picture is that it’s the first time they’ve ever been that close; it took a year, but now they’re pretty comfortable with each other. ---

We got the couch from my sister - maybe it is your couch. Maybe it’s the same couch that just goes from house to house to house. Maybe there is only one couch. ---
