Does your cat try the dead weight trick?

[danteshuman]

So my mom’s cat (that has some ragdoll in her.... if it is a factor) didn’t want to be moved from the coveted laundry basket..... so she turned into dead weight. I have never had a cat do this before! Do your cats do this? Yes I think it is adorable!


Cami & the basket:

Totally!

I wish! Miss Hek is far more likely to turn into a twisting, writhing dragon. Dead weight would be lovely.

Ragdolls are renown for being floppy cats.

 

[Neko-chan's mama]

Neko-chan is more likely to become dead weight when in my lap. Especially if I say I have to go soon.

Cami goes all floppy & calm if I hold her belly up (or even if my hyper little niece holds her like a baby.) However I was picking her up the normal cat way when she went all dead weight on me. Mind you she is a bratty little nipper so I would expect that type of protest more than the dead weight that threw me for a loop.
