Cat purrsons - does your cat lie like this?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

This is so cute - in my 21 years of living with cats, I've never had a cat who did this with his back paws:

1. I find it hard to believe that NO cat people are on this board right now

Come on - show yourselves!

[Arugula Latte]

2. That is adorable!!

:loveya:

I've seen my kitties do that very occasionally, but not as a habit.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. He does it probably 75% of the time

Either both legs or one leg stretched out behind him. I wish I were that limber!

4. Is that Sunny?

No I've seen dogs lie like that but no kitties:)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. Yes, it is

He's certainly becoming a personality in his own right. Mr. DTBK is disappointed that he's not really a lapcat like Simba was. He may become one someday, but on his terms, not ours!

6. Sometimes I think that having a lap cat is overrrated

As I type this Sophie is crawling all over me and when I didn't per her to her satisfaction started yanking on my shirt....Does this post meet with your approval madam Sophie (she's watching me type)....

7. One of mine is kinda double jointed. She looks like that all the time and does

it with her front paws too. I cannot quite figure out exactly how she is so differently jointed but it is really weird.

8. Cute

How does she do it with her front paws? I'm curious to see that!

9. lol!

No, can't say that any of my cats have! He's really growing up, isn't he?

:loveya:

10. 8 months on Tuesday

I keep asking him if he's a big kitten or a little cat - I'm inclined to go with the latter! He's a unique little guy, that's for sure.

11. Definitely a unique pose!

I had a dog who used to do that when he was sitting in the grass (we always said he was "cooling himself off"), but I haven't seen a cat do it. My parents have a cat who sleeps on his back with his paws out in front of him, though, which is pretty funny looking!

ON EDIT: Kept messing up on my subject line!

12. I used to have a cat who would do that

Because he was very furry, I always though he did it to cool his belly.

My current male prefers the sprawled on the back with feetsies in the air position.

13. My late great Dudley-Bob used to do that.

We referred to it as his "Superman" position.

14. Cute! I haven't seen my cat put her back legs out like that.

It's usually like this:

15. sometimes....

eom

16. Our Panda does that quite often. Had never seen it before him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. All of my cats lie

... they tell me their food bowls are empty when they're not.

[trof]

18. I think it cools 'em down.

[Hayabusa]

19. Yup

Possum does the exact same thing. So has the dog, apparently...

[redwitch]

20. YES!

Our Trouble does that, we think it is quite adorable. I have never had another cat who did it. We joke that she is part rabbit.
