My cats like to sleep in trees. I have outdoor cat and I also have trees with holes in them. Angel likes to nap in a hole. Patch use to climb up in one.
Yesterday I got a picture of Eric and Angel poking their heads out of a hole in a tree.
Where is the strangest place your cats sleep?

OMG!! I thought my cats were the only ones
to do silly stuff like that. My EB (female cat)
got under the counter last night. And I went
to get her out cause I thought she would have an
accident under there and she gave me the woeful look
like, "Mommy, please let me stay!"

It broke my heart.

We ha Cali who like to nap in trees but she'd curl up on a wide branch not in a hole.
Cats are silly.

My Big Man would be a limb sleep except for the fact
that he is terrified of the outdoors. He was a stray when
we found him and he never got over the experience of living outdoors.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

I don't think they ever do.
Sparkle was born outside and we brought her in but now she is out. I think she was truly meant to be an outdoor kitty.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9127)   ranked 76 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

When Big Man was a kitty, we took him to
a state park and tried to let him run around, like a puppy.
What a mistake!

He totally ran for the closest tree and was so scared.
There was a field of cows that he almost ran into.

And I kept calling his name.

It was cute, but sad.

He didn't go out after that.

Even for moving we have to put him in his pet carrier to get
him out of the door and even then, we use the dog sized pet carrier
cause he doesn't like to be confined.



myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

Pet carriers are great. Cats are hard to hold onto sometimes.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9127)   ranked 76 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

A number of years back, we had to move
and I didn't even know about pet carriers.
I think I just carried him out and he was scratching
all over me.

Poor baby was scared.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

If you don't have a carrier pick them up by the neck. They can't really get you than. It's how their momma always carried them.

My cat's favorite place to sleep is in my husband's lap! It drives my husband crazy. Other than that, he loves to sleep on the windowsill behind the curtains where no one can see him. He is a strictly indoor cat, otherwise I am sure he would be climbing trees all of the time.

That picture sounds like it would be adorable! Did you post it anywhere so that we can see it?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

It is up at the top with the post. Click on it and you'll see it better.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9127)   ranked 76 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

Sounds like my EB. She loves to sleep in my lap
while I post on Mylot. I'm always talking about it.

Well, last year she did that and my hand went numb.
Totally weird.
It's pretty much better now, but I don't let her sleep
in my lap anymore while I'm typing.

Watching TV is another story.

I have 2 cats. My tabby, Kitsie, always sleeps on our garden wall which is very thin so how she keeps her balance only her and her 9 lives know. My other one who is only 4mths old,jane, tends to try and sleep on my husbands head at 3am in the morning and other times she curls up with our jack russel for a nap.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

My mil has cats and they sleep on her head too.
I don't know how cats sleep some places.


myLot reputation of 91/100. beautyqueen26 (9127)   ranked 76 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

LOL! My EB used to sleep on my pillow at the top
of my head. I think they do it for the warmth, cause
heat leaves through the scalp. Or, so I've heard.

both of my cats are inside cats. They really do not sleep any place strange but my male cat loves to sit in the bath tub. Whenever I can not find him that is the first place I look.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

The cat I grew up with did that. In the summer, that was the cool spot and she was always in there.

I'm assuming your kitties have no trouble in getting down from the trees..LOL
Well my cats have always been indoor cats, and yes, they manage to find some odd places to sleep....Pyewacket is up in the kitchen cabinet over the refrigerator as I write this. Also, I HAD to keep the middle section of my bookcase headboard clear....so much for putting books there, as he likes to snooze there as well.

Kissy seems to be more inventive and likes to get behind the space of my computer desk and also manages to crawl under the dresser (how she manages that I'll never know as she's a bit...uh, chubby)---she also loves to get into one of my closets and sleep there. I now have to check it before I close the closet since of the latest episode that made me feel guilty. The other night I went to bed as usual, thinking nothing of it...about eight hour later I get up, and start fixing breakfast and of course feed the kitties...Pyewacket was in the kitchen with me and didn't notice Kissy around, but then I figured she was in one of her other spots. All of a sudden I hear this strange scratching sound coming from the closet...yup--you guessed it...Kissy. Which meant she had been in there the whole time....I felt so guilty. Of course, Kissy was milking it for all it was worth and just LOVED the extra attention I was giving her.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

I bet she did.
Lacey always loved getting underneath our big entertainment center. I was always afraid she'd get stuck so I have old towels stuffed under there so she can't do that anymore. It is big and cherry so if she did get stuck I'd never be able to move it and get her out.
My mom used to shut our cat in the basement, not knowing she went down there when we went to get something. Goofy cats.

well, I moved it into my picture finder and changed the contrast and brightness and could finally see it

and its very cute

I have lots of places my cats like to sleep, but on top of me is a favorite


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

I had trouble seeing what I was taking in the sun.
My indoor cat will lay on my legs so long they go to sleep along with her.

my cat likes to lay on things.. remotes.. anything.. you would think something poking you while your laying or sitting on it would be uncomfortable but its like he think he is a bird on a nest or something


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

I don't know how they can be comfortable sometimes.

I have a kitty who sleeps next to the rice cooker/warmer. And the mother sleeps in the book cabinet. Before that the mother slept on top of my dvd player. So, when I played dvd, the machine sounds like a motor running. What a nasty cat!:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  8 months ago

I guess all cats have their own little spots to get comfortable.:)

wub awww! how sweet. i no longer have them but yrs ago we had one that would get out on the window air conditioner and sleeprolleyes no idea why. lots of times they would also climb into paper bags, play a while, then sleep in them. one used to sleep on my window sill but i guess thats common.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ruthep (5928)   ranked 148 out of 7,729 in cats  1 month ago

I have never heard of that one. I have an outdoor cat that gets on the C/A unit outside, but when it starts she gets off.
I think cats will lay anywhere and be comfortable. Wish I could do that.
