I've checked the six windows, per Curmudgeoness suggestion, but I still don't see a cat. I've scrutinized the bricks, the shadows, everything, but I don't see a sleeping cat.

Solly, please, unseal thy lips!

It took me a moment to find it, but yes, sure enough, I found the sleeping cat!

Not on a window or door, though.

Where would a cat sleep? Out of reach, with a view of it all so it can pounce from above when the opportunity arises.

I had to open the image in a separate tab and zoom in to find it though. It's not small, just hidden in plain sight.

My cat does the same thing - gets on my limbs & cuts off circulation. Thank goodness this feline is not on the left side.

I chose 2. It just spoke to me.

They were all excellent though. Thanks to each contributor.

Congratulations to the finalists.

I frankly thought this poll would be more even because all the entries are so worthy. Indeed, my favorite is an underdog.

Thanx again for hosting, Solly.
