I just love when Sash does this, lately he's been falling asleep sitting up all the time, it's like he's in a trance.
My first cat Kit would always do the same thing and I loved it.
Here's a pic of him doing it.

Milo falls asleep sitting up sometimes. I have a picture, but hes not sleeping in this one. He sits up like this and puts his head on the table and falls asleep. Everytime I try to take a picture, when I turn the camera on it wakes him up.

Oh, what precious pictures! Our little St. John sleeps so hard -- sometimes he's awakened by the clanking of supper dishes and comes padding out to the kitchen... he stops in the doorway and sits down and blinks... his eyes close... and he's asleep again. After awhile, he'll start to l e a n off to one side, and just when he's about to fall over, he wakes up again, blinks... and falls right back to sleep. Awww!

Watching the robins sing!
I just love sleeping kitties!
Mollie dozes off while she is sitting up - and I love to watch her profile, because I can see her head actually fall foward so that her chin is on her chest.
Cosmo is a sprawler - legs usually dangling off of the chair cushions or over the arms. Then he tucks his chin in and snoozes
Sophie is a curler and really sleeps soundly!

Ari was sound asleep on the monitor in the "sphinx" position. I heard a loud thud. He had totally relaxed and his head dropped on the monitor. He was so out of it, it took a few seconds to ascertain he was still alive.


Past kitty Astrid also would sleep sitting up. And then start bobbing her head and leaning...

Yes, Charlie will do that in the evening when I'm at the pc - I always think they will fall over or something

Whitey just kind of leans into the couch. Looks like he's a teenage boy sleeping when he does that

Awww, look at Milo! That's too funny.
I would just love to see all your kitties sleeping like you all describe. I think it's the most adorable thing in the world!

Well they try to
It doesn't always work out so great for them. It's mostly Stuart who falls asleep in weird positions and falls of the couch or the cat tree

Frisco doesn't do that, but I enjoyed looking at all the pictures! Too cute!

None of my kitties do this, but it's adorable


My two both sleep in tight balls (probably because my house is so cold
) In the summer they sprawl out...
