WCB: Stealth Mode

May16

You already know about Puddy’s favourite sleeping place – on the back of our sofa set, since it’s so cushiony and comfy. Usually she’ll sleep in a relatively normal position – in a log shape, or curled up a little. However, the other day Puddy managed to roll herself into a lumpy, furry ball!

Puddy in a Ball

Where’s the head? Where’s the tail? It’s a bit hard to see!

I was taking some photos and Puddy must have heard me because she woke up. Well, let me clarify: she woke up but didn’t move. I only knew she woke up because she opened one eye and glared at me.

Stealth mode!

Puddy watched me for a while, the only sign of life being her little beady eye following me around as I took photos. Once or twice her ear flicked, but that was it. She was obviously very comfortable and wasn’t impressed with me disturbing her (I was trying to be quiet!).

It’s getting colder here as we approach winter, so it’s always nice to be close to a warm, fuzzy purring cat who is, in fact, a wonderful substitute for a hot water bottle – as long as you can stop her from kneading your stomach long enough for her to curl up and fall asleep!

    Snuggles used to curl up like that too, which was a bit odd for a dog.
    The cutest bit was that he used to dream fairly often, so you’d look down at this curled up ball that was faintly barking!

    Kelly Marie – That is so cute! I’ve heard a lot about dogs dreaming in their sleep, but not so much cats. The most I’ve heard from Puddy are snores and the odd tail flicking – nothing as exciting as barking or (attempting) running!

    Luna likes to curl up in a little black ball, too. Though she usually picks light colored surfaces and thus not quite as stealthy.

    A warm kitty sounds like the perfect way to cope with the approaching winter. It’s really warm here right now – unusually warm actually, but we’re enjoying it.

    [...] at A Byootaful Life, Puddy goes into stealth mode. Is it really him or just a dummy cat he’s set into position so he can sneak [...]

    CatSynth – The black coat can certainly work for (or against) the stealth mode! :P I hope your weather continues to be lovely – the rain has just started today, so it looks like it will be cold, wet and miserable here!

    Your kitty look so cute when she’s curled up! =D
    My bianster seldom sleeps in that position too!
