This is how my cat sleeps.

I realized, I have taken many photos of my cat Charlie AKA Catbutt AKA goddammit don't put your butt on my stuff AKA you so fat AKA.......... sleeping in awkward positions. Here are some of them. Yes he really is as large as he appears, and yes he is a polydactyl. That's how my wife tricked me into adopting him.

Yes, they were both asleep here.

I have no real reason for posting this other than, he ALWAYS sleeps weird. Also, pay no attention to the trashed living room. I gave up after I had a kid.

Wow my cat is almost identical to yours, even down to the werid sleeping positions.

Also, thying to keep a house clean when you have kids is like shoveling snow in the middle of a snow storm...pointless.

I like to call this type of cat an Orangepuss Giganticus, I have one too!

Ripley also has one in Aliens.

Here's some Mau sleeping strangely. This is now Yamaha's cat.

Our current mess of a new young cat doing weird things laying.

Also: Huge orange cat master race!!!!

You've starved that poor cat haven't you?

Harley didn't want me to get up, one Saturday morning (any morning, really). I lay on my side and he'll flop his front legs on either side of my shoulder.

What i've determined is the larger and the oranger they are, the stranger they sleep. I don't think Catbutt has EVER slept curled in a ball... not that he could cause he's so fat.

I feed him once a week if he's lucky. The rest of the time he bullies my wife into it- or he steals the other cats food.

That cat is either huge or she's small.

That's SWMBO. She's 5'5", you can do the math.

He's kindof jarring to see in person for the first time, or after i've been away for a few days. He can grab E36 M3 off the counters without jumping on them pretty easily.

Here he is checking out a steering rack:

Whatcha doin', Mom? (Not even close to full stretch)

Tiny cats.

The one in the middle is 15 lb's. The orange one is well bigger.

This is my new cat, Cooper, photo taken one month ago at 3 pounds 12oz.

He has grown more than 2 pounds since

Currently 4-5 months old and I can't wait for him to mellow out a bit.

This is Flounder and his preferred sleeping position.

This is Dexter, he likes being the center of attention. So when GRM, Sports Car and my copy of "1" arrived on the same day he made himself the center of attention.

Dude, I thought you'd bred cats, not mini lions. Also- smash face on the right does not look amused.

I don't have a cat. I do have a fat sausage dog who sleeps funny though.

This thread is making me need to sneeze.

I'm allergic to cats and dogs and we have 4 cats and 3 dogs. I do allergy shots, pills, eye drops, and nose spray. The combo of all it it makes it manageable.

We have that same captain america truck! My 2-year-old named it "Lisa". I guess he gets that from me...

isn't that a "cat happy face"?

Mr. Orange looks like a Norwegian Forrest Cat. We had one and they get to be quite large. Everyone always assumed she was Maine Coon because of her size.

Don't have any good ones of the cat, so here are my parents' dogs from about a decade ago. God time flies...

There's a story with all of those trucks. I bought a couple because I thought they were kinda neat toys. One day Gibson was at his grandmothers with all of us for a family gathering, and some of his cousins were there. One of his cousins had with him a large carrying case with probably 20 trucks in it. HOWEVER, this kid was being a little E36 M3. He was parading them all out in front of everyone, but was NOT letting the other kids in on the fun, especially Gibson. I don't approve. I ALSO knew I had some new ones stashed in my car because I'd found them at Target for dirt cheap. So I went out to my car and grabbed probably half a dozen brand new in the package trucks and handed them off to my then 2 year old. Turd kid sees this and loses it. He wants to horn in on those trucks. My wife and I shut that down REAL quick "You got your trucks, these are HIS trucks.... keep em apart" I had some of the hard to find stuff too- because that's how I roll. A little bit later he has the gall to ask me if I have any more trucks he can play with..... I politely stated I did not. I spent the rest of the summer hunting every single truck in the 2013 lineup. I called my mother and enlisted her help. In the process I found a bunch of older ones as well- I probably have 100 of the things now. Gibson has plenty of trucks to worry about some little scumbag cousin not sharing.

I had a cat of similar fatness, only he had really, really long white hair so he looked even wider. He ended up growing old and losing weight due to diabeetus, down to a slim-for-him 15lbs, at which point he looked practically deflated, loose skin and all! He sure was a happy cat. Stupid beyond belief, but happy.

Actually that is his happy cat face. 100% Extreme Persian, double regional champion kitten. He is my one retired show cat.

Big orange is 100% Maine Coon, breeder friend of mine had a unexpected litter when one of his girls got pregnant before she got nipped.
