I once found Max had climbed into my closet, up my clothes and was sleeping on the bar trying to balance on top of the hangers --and doing a pretty good job of it -- fast asleep. He was quite PO'd when I pulled him down. Yes, he damaged some of my clothes as he climbed up them! Stinker.
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

Oh, I've got to reply here. We have a civvie kitty named Magpie who's now 4. We rescued her from a rescue org. after someone else adopted her and returned her because she was 'too much cat.' :dizcat
My wife and I never leave the house until we have a furry head count - in our house - that's three furs; Fitzel, Magpie and Hobson (also a civvie). Well, we were ready to leave and started the count; Fitzel in her favorite spot on the grand piano window hunting, Hobson curled in the highest part of his kitty tree - but NO Magpie. Oh, Magpie. Magpie. We called and called. Opened doors and drawers, looked in and under beds, couches, cabinets - no Magpie. By now, panic was setting in. All our furrs are indoor only and we hadn't gone outside yet that morning, but you know how you start thinking maybe you opened a door to the backyard and you don't remember? So outside we went. Magpie! Magpie! No Magpie.

So, back in the house we were both panicking. Where on earth could she be? Then we noticed that Hobson, Magpie's younger brother and adoring disciple had gotten off his kitty tree and was staring at the stove. The stove? Yep. The cooktop, where every kitty mommy should always look - just in case their kitty is curled up sound asleep in the over-sized cast iron skillet you keep on the back burner.

We were so happy to finally find her we scooped her out of the once well-oiled, now well furred, frying pan before either of us thought to get the camera. Also, because we know our beloved, stubborn, singled minded Maggers - we put the over sized cast iron skillet under the cooktop with our other pots and pans. Now she just sleeps where every kitty always sleeps - on top of the refrigerator. Maybe we should enroll her in some culinary classes since she seems to love the kitchen.

Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

mine is not so much the where but it's the how.

fortunately she only does this in the winter because I'd be so miserable if she did it while it's hot....
But Shadow will climb on my chest , nibble on my chin, and then decide to sleep
and she'll put her forhead on my nose ( and she has those big tickle-y white whiskers. and turn just a little
so one cheek is kinda on my cheek and fall asleep.
I try to not breathe too hard so as not to disturb her.

I never mind her waking me up for this cuddle but it sure is hard to be still when she starts out and the whiskers
tickle.

These are fun to read! My cats are boring and just sleep on beds or pillows (yawn!!). They certainly can't compete with Shai's frying pan cat (southern fried cat?) or max&emmasmommie's clothes hanger cat (fasionista cat). But love reading these! They are too funny! More!!!

My Boys used to sleep together growing up, now that they are big boys, 11 on 9/1, they sleep seperately, wintertime, Junior likes behind the wood stove, and Sparky likes on the hearth in front of the stove.

Summertime it is sinks for the boys, the cool porcelian is what they like! or the bathroom floor...

DH also built them a climbing tower, (in between double sliders for the deck) , I wanted him to take it down because of Juniors back legs, but with his methyl and exercise program, he is climbing the tower again, and sits up top and watches the birds. and naps....in the sun...away from Sparky!!!!

nothing very unusual, just cute!
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

Dagda likes to become kitty houdini and hide in strange places.. her heaviest was at 18 pounds and how she squeezes herself in some places I have no idea.. She thinks it's a game, I'll whistle for her and she'll come right out. Sometimes I still don't know her secret hiding spots lol. When she was little she would get behind a drawer if you left it open.. You would hear a little "mew!" when you tried to nudge the drawer. To get her out I actually had to pull the drawers out. :lol:
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

Neither one of my current girls are good hiders. But I have a GA named blackie that would go into my parents room, who at the time had a huge king size waterbed .. the kind that had the headboard and then under the bed were all the drawers (picture something from the 70/80's) anyways, whenever we couldn't find blackie we would have to hunt her down .. and 99% of the time we'd find her curled up inside the drawer where my dad kept his socks and underpants! We learned she would go behind the bed, walk down the middle of the bed, right smack dab in between where the drawers would meet, and then hop into the drawer! She was such a stinker at times!

Midora (GA) used to like to sleep IN my clothes. I have some photos of her curled up in a pair of jeans, a jacket....the photos are 35mm, so i don't have any to show you. I do have a photo of her in my Easter basket in her special frame by her ashes. I guess that could be the strangest place she ever snuggled down! :lol: Cedric and Dallas are pretty typical where they sleep. Cedric especially likes to sleep in the crack between the couch pillows. Since Dallas used to be a stray, he'll sleep anywhere. He does love his Bright house fabric bag though....

Not so much a weird place, but more of a "with whom"...

We used to do a lot of wildlife rehab. Boots (GA) put up with a lot of stuff back then. The colors match, if not the species, but she got used to strange bedfellows.



Olive used to sleep in odd places, her favorite odd spot was in the litter box. :smile:

Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

My big sugar boy bart is a table cat - prefers the middle of the coffee table no matter any chaos going on. Our civil joey likes drawers closets etc. Once my son left the front loader drier door open - joey made himself right at home. Needless to say we always check the machines thoroughly before running a load now!

When we first moved here, Joey would somehow get up on a shelf in my closet where I kept shoes. He did that for about a year. Now, he's too old to make it past the ottoman.
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

my civvie molly would open my dresser drawer(heavy wood not on rollers) i still havent figured that one out but she would go into the back of the dresser and find her way into a drawer that didnt have too much clothing in it....i found this out by shutting one of the drawers one day and hearing a crying coming from the dresser later in the day

my patches used to get himself under my covers with the bed made and would sleep in the middle of the bed, so id come home to a big ball of cat in the middle of the bed.

I love this thread.
Very much needed smiles in the midst of numbers high, numbers low, not enough numbers, not enough ear space.
Everyone's kids are so amazing and unique!

If you look at the middle picture in the frame, you can see Midora sitting in the Easter basket.

Toilet seat. Top down, of course. I guess they enjoy the fuzzy cover.
It can be a problem since there is only one toilet in the house... :? Who dares to move a sleeping cat?
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

on my face.

between my fiance's legs, under the covers! (Stinky) winter time only of course. we just figured he likes to stay warm. :lol: :lol:
 
Re: Loose Lips - Where is the weirdest place your cat has sl

This is great. Thanks, everybody. Keep 'em comin'!

We lived on a busy downtown street once. I left my car door open just a little too long when I ran in the house for second. Then I came back out, shut the door, and locked the car. It was getting dark. The stray I was feeding didn't show up for dinner. Guess where he was? Found him the next morning, and the poop, too. Lovely!
