How Looooooong Is Your Kitty?

Juniper is just over 7 pounds and doesn't have an ounce of extra fat on her (her humans are jealous!) but she is very good at elongating herself....

Visual evidence:


And for fun, let's contrast elongated kitten with her most compact self, on the same cat tree for scale:


...taking up less than half of the width of the tree.




....So very looooong she's dripping over the edge.

Olive is actually quite short but she wants to be a long kitty!

KarenKat and Olive: Our torti treasure Tarifa is a compact little cat, too -- I think she has some Siamese ancestors -- but she also loves to strettttttttttttttttch!

What a gorgeous little dilute tortie! She and Juniper could be sisters for sure...

Jadzia does flop on the floor, but her real skill at longing is standing up. (First pic is her standing on the windowsill, second one is on the window bed)

Sundar's pretty long, but when he does his supine stretches, he's very, very long.

Peko, seen here normalizing after the stress of the neighborhood July 4th fireworks.

Oh, his tail is amazingly long, too, Count ! What a gorgeous guy he is. (By the way, is that a working landline behind him?)

His tail is looooooong. It may even be as long as him! I'm so lucky to have such a gorgeous cat.

Yep. My landlord had it connected for an elderly before and says he is too lazy to disconnect it now. So now I have free access to ancient technology. I never use it though, other than to find my cell phone.
