Sleepy Sunday

 "Ummm, mom??  You're making it hard for me to sleep!"

 "I'm exhausted from sleeping with mom last night!"

 "I can sleep anywhere, anytime.  I am a Champion Sleeper!!"

"See!!  We are very good at our jobs!!"

Time to Vote!! Sleeping Contest Categories!!

"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde would like to welcome everycat to their First Annual Everycat Sleeping Contest.  Here are the rules.  We will give you seven categories plus one special category which doesn't involve sleeping.  Your job, regardless of whether or not you choose to accept it... oh wait, that's something else.  Ahem.  Everycat will reply with their vote(s) for as many categories as they please (after all we are cats!).  The cat with the most votes in each category wins.  The winner will contact us and will choose their own award graphic!!  Now onto the categories!!  May the best cat win!!"

"The first category is Synchronized Sleeping!

Two or more cats sleeping together in harmony.

This can be either cuddled up or in the same position."

"Comely Catnapping!

This is one of the basic cat sleeping positions.

We learn it at our mother's paws."

"Delightful Dozing!

Most of us find this easiest to do on mom or dad's pillows.

After all, they smell like them and are soft to boot!!"

"Splendid Slumbering

Curled up into a ball... ahhhhhh so comfy.

You don't have to be curled up,

just as long as you are slumbering splendidly."

"Luscious Lounging

It's hard not to look luscious when you're lounging!

No pictures please!!"

"Tantalizing Tummies

How can anycat resist?!?  Seriously.  It's a tummy!!"

"Resplendent Resting

So many of us can sleep with our heads up...

after all, who knows when a mousie or

other treat might come along!!"

"This is our special category!!  Cuteness Exercises!!

They are tremendously important!!

Everycat must do them everyday!!"

"Now you know the categories to vote on, you'll find entries sc-cat-tered throughout the comments to our posts from the last week as well as your fellow voters.

We look forward to seeing everycat's vote!!!"

"Mom was singing with the HHS Alumni Choir all weekend.  This is comprised of people who were in the Varsity Choir directed by Joe Giles at the high school both she and her husband attended.  They had a great time but it was hard work having to sing choral music again after... years.  So we're lounging gracefully for them!!"

You can now find everycat who entered HERE! 

Mom!! We've Got an Idea for YOU!!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde got together and kept posing all over the bed.  Not only that, but they stayed still long enough for me to take pictures of them.  Now it all began with StarWalker BitCat the ComputerKitty.  I looked up and there was this stunning beauty turning his head with just a wee bit of red collar showing (Star always insists on having either red or blue).  I must admit that I do have a certain fondness for Star's lithe grace.  He is my panther.  And even if he doesn't always come in at night, when I curl up to go to sleep as I'm drowsing I find a paw draped across my calf.  [Thomas likes to get in everyone's way... this includes the humans.  He has been known to shove humans off of the bed as easily as Mister Kitten, and Mister Kitten outweighs him by four pounds!]

"I'm very good at making sure mom sleeps longer

when she hasn't slept well."

He makes me sleep in when I've had trouble getting to sleep.  As an example, last night I wasn't able to get to sleep until 0200.  This meant that Da Boys made me sleep until just after 1200.  Wow!  Then I had to read a gazillion posts, emails, an odd bizarre cartoon on lj or two, and watch something on YouTube.  During this I had to stop to reply to some of the gazillion posts, emails, forward an odd bizarre cartoon or two, and something on YouTube.  As you can imagine, this took some time, especially since it was interrupted by forays to get Sumpin-to-Eat & Sumpin-to-Drink (these are technical terms) for me and Sumpin-to-Eat & Sumpin-to-Drink & Treats for Da Boys (these are extremely important!!).

 "I ensure that mom takes naps.  Naps are important.

Everyone should take at least one nap a day.

Two are better.  Make that five... maybe more."

There was also some checking in on the painting going on in the kitchen.  "MOM!!  Does this mean that our food will be in the Right Place soon?!"  Not yet boys, but soon!  ::everyone crosses paws::   After that Some Cat Who Shall Remain Nameless (we suspect Zaphoid, but it could have been Star since they were both in here) viciously made me fall asleep while trying to get over to the Blogger tab!!!  It was a two hour nap which isn't the world's most comfortable in that position.  By that time I had to go get Sumpin-to-Eat & Sumpin-to-Drink again.  Which meant going Out Into the World because there was nuthin' to eat at the inn... ummm... uh... the fact that I wanted Peach Tea had nothing to do with it.  I just got more because the drive-through had the caloric intake written on the board (in ranges... whoot!!).

"Okay... who's got the greenies?

Law & Order: Criminal Intent is coming on!!"

 And then our "stories" came on...  what's that?  Oh!  Their idea.  No idea.  I'll ask them tomorrow.  No, really!!

"Hey mom!  If you get this bag you can go to the store, buy us lots of greenies, and not have to use plastic bags to carry them home in!!  Green-ies!!  Green-ies!!  Green-ies!!"

Shhhhhh!!! Someone's Sleeping!!

Mister Kitten?  Are you asleep?

I've heard that sleeping makes your weight go down.

Wow!  How many cats can fall asleep doing yoga??

I know you're flexible, this makes... now wait!

You weigh 19 pounds now!!!

Tom likes to teach synchronized sleeping as well as graceful lounging.
