I don’t know what it is about cats and sleeping as close to your face as they can get - we have two that do that now (it used to be just one, but the other one seems to have gotten on board with it!). ---

Anyone have a picture of a puppy sleeping with a kitten sleeping next to a baby sleeping That would pretty much cinch the competition 🙂 ---

Tony, the kitten, has decided that near my feet is the best possible place to spend the night. It’s interesting to wake up in the morning with a ball of fuzz on your toes. ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > Ah yes, the “If I fits in it, I sits in it” rule. No, I believe that the pics in question display the “Boxes contain cats” rule, as the cats don’t exactly fit in the box. On the other hand, that box doesn’t exactly contain the cats, either… ---

I just had to update this thread, since Pepper and Tony have managed to outdo themselves on the sleeping cuteness scale. From 1 to 10, this one’s an [11](http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/2171/peppertonysleepingoy7.jpg)! ---

Ah yes, the well-known _Orange Cat/Gray Cat “T Position”_ with the gray cat forming the crossbar… good form, good form. (See my [previous submission](http://gallery.opalcat.com/gallery/pixie/kittens_039?full=1) for another example) ---

> [@bufftabby](#): > > 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. I am regularly [surrounded and pinned](http://bp3.blogger.com/_dQuacLNyX8E/R7TWSsmrJxI/AAAAAAAABJo/d0t8G1JofKo/s1600-h/IMG_8909+(Large).JPG), ala Gulliver.

I haven’t been able to get a clear (non fuzzy) shot of them yet, but [here](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3259/3089903642_4417967d0e.jpg) are my two cats zonked out at the end of a long day. ---

I think, in a competition for cutest/coolest sleeping cat picture, [this one](http://www.seodisco.com/images/firefox-boob.jpg) wins on soo many levels! (of course, not my pic, but I’m sure you already know that) S^G [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-anything-cuter-than-sleeping-kitties/472896.md?page=4)
