Arms over your head?
Head upside down? 
Ready to run at a moment's notice?
yes, Brian... we remember your poem!
Legs hanging off the side of the bed? 
Under the stars? 
In a big pile? This may sound weird to some, but it's perfectly normal with our triplets. ha. 
While still sitting up in your chair? A-hem, Silver! And just so others know, he's fallen asleep while having email conversations with me! Yes, it has given me a complex that my emails are boring! haha! If you have insomnia, just send me a note. I'll see what I can do! lol. 
Or maybe you have a 'family bed'? Any parents out there ever done this with their little kids? The kids sleep great...the parents? Not so much! HA. And yes, they sleep like this...sideways with their toes digging into your side! Come to think of it, our cats used to do this exact same thing! 
Or how about sleeping with your feet stretched up beside your head? 
Well, however you do it, I hope it's restful!
♥
This is how mothers sleep when they still do night time baby feedings.
Like you're flying?
Tiger looks like "the cat jumped over the moon" here!
Snuggled with someone that licks your ears?
Human or pet?
I love this! What cute pictures. (and commentary!) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous post Betsy..the kittens have grown so much, they're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI personally love sleeping on my belly with my arms above my head. It was a bit of a problem when I was pregnant with the boys...but I don't need to worry about that happening again. he!he!he!
Katherine ~ I used to sleep on my stomach, too...until pregnancies changed my habit. Now it's just on my side.
ReplyDeletelove ~ love ~ love ~ this....they are just darling...
ReplyDeletebesty...are you keeping them ?
oh how i LOVE kittys !!!
kary, teddy and all the farmhouse kitchen kittys
xx
Kary ~ well, of course they are free to go if they please...but I wouldn't really mind if they stayed. :) Five men, five cats? Oh my. The other night we had a mother raccoon and 4 babies on our back porch...so 5 raccoons, too? This really is a zoo! ha.
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable photos! I do love to watch my cat sleep, she looks so cozy in every position.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting so big. I can hardly tell which one is mom.
ReplyDelete(I'm going to call you Dr. "D")
I love kitties! What a bunch of eye candy! :)
ReplyDeletekittens. And the first thing I thought of was Brian's kitty cat poem. *steamy*
ReplyDeleteI sleep in the "superman" position.
this is adorable...ahem, well i guess if they did not remember they do now...smiles.
ReplyDeleteOn my stomach with my arms under my pillow. Lately I've been sleeping with one ear pealed for the baby monitor to erupt. Don't have my back end in the air like momma cat tho. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd photo is mom. And she's in 2 of the 3 group photos. :)
ReplyDeletehaha..Brian...yes, now they do! lol...
ReplyDelete"While still sitting up in your chair? A-hem, Silver!"
ReplyDeleteDon't be silly. I haven't done that since... well... this afternoon, actually.
And it's because of my weird sleep patterns... not the company!
haha you stalking the kitties as they sleep
ReplyDeleteCaptured them in a big heap..haha
Fun watching all the postion's they use
As long as it's not on my back, any position will work and sleep I won't lose
So no emails needed to put me to sleep
Oh I could make cracks by the heap
But will forgo it for now
Kitties are still growing, soon you'll have big cats to make us wow
Pat ~ Stalking kitties is fun to do
ReplyDeleteand quite addictive, too!
Yes things are getting big at the zoo
as they are growing, too!
I can't sleep on my back, either!
I randomly stumbled upon your blog while on the search for the Cheesecake Factory dark wheat bread. You are one inspiring lady! I have 2 boys and just yesterday found out we are expecting again! I hope that I can be 1/2 the mother you are to my boys. I'm glad there are people like you in the world.
ReplyDeleteLyndzi ~ well, congrats on the new little one coming! I'm glad you found me, too! :)
ReplyDeletePrecious little kitties ...
ReplyDeleteMe? On my side in a fetal position! Either side works.
Helen ~ that's me, too! Very comfortable, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteThey're all contortionists!
ReplyDeleteMagpie ~ haha...yes, they are! So entertaining to watch!
ReplyDeleteOn my way to bed and reading this post...how perfect. I just love all of your sweet kitties.
ReplyDeleteOh these are wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous !
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet sunday...
Greetings from France,
Pierre
At the moment they are just kittens and lovely and innocent. Just wait until they discover that you are not their mistress, but their servant!
ReplyDeleteMy Dinky was a foundling. He turned up one dark winters night, cold, wet and starving. He only looked about 8 weeks old.
My old cat, Sooty, had only died the week before and I was sad and lonely myself so I invited him in, cleaned him up and fed him and he's been with me now for nearly two years.
Like your kittens he was just a bundle of furry joy. That is until he reached the adolescent stage; just like a bored teenager. Now I very rarely see him except at mealtimes, which he eats very fast then he's off out again with his mates.
Recently he's started to bring his mates in for a sleepover when the weathers bad. There's three of them, dirty and very demanding, I don't think they have homes, and I'm certainly not taking them on. One demanding cat enough.
I wish I was a cat sometimes! Love the first photo with the ginger kitten - so relaxed. I'm told I sleep flat on my back and hardly move (my friend with whom I shared a room on holiday worried that I was dead!)
ReplyDeleteI just realized that my insomnia problems are caused by my sleeping with my feet curled up by my head. I must be in the wrong fetal position.
ReplyDeleteActually my cat Joey sleeps that way curled up like a ball. I toss and turn and sleep anyway I can.
The kitties look so cute and happy. Just adorable.
God bless.
Keith ~ what a sweet story of how Mr Dinky came to be your cat. Awwww. Yes, cats are like that, aren't they? Most amusing!
ReplyDeletejenny ~ oh that is funny! Yes, I suppose you looked like you were!
ReplyDeleteAre these all your cats? They are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI sleep with my arms over my head and my feet hanging off the bed... at least, that's the way I wake up sometimes!
I've not been sleeping as soundly as I used to; I suspect that during the course of a night you might find me in SEVERAL of these positions :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are simply too CUTE! LOL! Love all the captures of their sleep habits! Gives me a nice smile this morning! Thank you. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteCali Girl ~ a stray mother cat chose our back yard to have her litter in! So far, they have decided to stay.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures of the kitties...they're getting big. They're so cute when they're sleeping. Just like kids! hehe!
ReplyDeleteUsually, as soon as I switch on the TV!
ReplyDeleteMartin ~ no insomnia for you, I see! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Betsy...
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that I have to second some Of the previous commenter comments...The images [Of the cats sleeping habits] are beautiful Of mother cat and her litter.
Thanks, for sharing this Sunday morning too!
deedee ;-D
Ah they're adorable. I have a friend who sends me picks of the unusual poses his cat's strike when asleep. Very funny. Wish I could sleep with my legs around my head . wait that didn't sound right.
ReplyDeleteOh I always slept with kids until they begin to kick you in the face at night Then its like.....you have a bed??? type of thing lol
ReplyDeleteOur bed is king size so it's fine Lots of room for every one. lol
Test
ReplyDeleteMmm ~ Hmm. Did I pass? Did you pass? Or was that a secret coded message? lol.....
ReplyDeleteOh I missed this one while we were in Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI'm a side sleeper, with my hands tucked under my chin...
What a delightful array of sleeping kittens....
When our little poodle is allowed to sleep with us, he gets in the middle and spreads out leaving each of us hanging off the side of he bed hoping not to squash him. Your kittens are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteone of my very favorite projects of yours ..these kittens love your porch ...I can tell!
ReplyDeleteMade me smile... big! Sleep well tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhat love!! Cats can really come up with inventive sleep positions. One of my favorites is when they have a paw over the eyes. Thank you for welcoming and loving these sweet kitties.
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with cuteness!!
ReplyDeleteawwwwww kittens are just little bundles of pure JOY!
ReplyDeleteA sleepy post indeed.
