Sleeping Cats, with and without Pillows

Today feels like a good day for sleeping cat photos. Here are two recent faves!

Soupy found this nice pillow to cuddle up against the other day. (The pillowcase featuring a bicycle-riding dog came courtesy of my mother-in-law!) Is there anything cuter than that paw-over-the-face pose?

Nipsey prefers to use an arm as a pillow. When one isn’t available to him, he’ll just stretch out his neck anyway, as seen here.

Nipsey Being Still

Every few days Nipsey sits still for minutes at a time. (Usually he’s asleep or being restrained.)

Here are some rare not-blurry shots of this bafflingly energetic creature!

I took this last one with my phone a few months ago, but it’s my favorite!

Soupy’s Portfolio

I recently got a fancy new SLR camera, and guess who my primary subjects are? (Here’s a hint—they’re not made of yarn.)

These are all photos of Soupy, who somehow knows what modeling is all about. If I can catch Nipsey in some non-manic moments, I’ll post some new photos of him soon too.

Soupy’s Spoon

Soupy found a plastic spoon in a bag of takeout that we got, and he started playing with it obsessively! Soupy and his spoon were practically the cutest thing ever.

He got a little self conscious about it when I started taking pictures, but he still played with it for me.

He loves his spoon so much that we can’t just take it away from him, so now we have a plastic spoon lying around our apartment, along with balls of paper, cardboard boxes, and other pieces of trash that our cats treat like treasure. Sometimes these “toys” get a little out of hand.

But you just can’t say no to that face, right?

Sleeping Nipsey

Warning: gratuitous kitty post!

Nipsey the Cat loves to sleep on my lap, and I love to quietly take pictures of him sleeping. Sometimes he sleeps on his left side…

And sometimes on his right side…

No, maybe that left side was better…

All that napping wears a cat out!

So yes, my productivity is still down these days due to fuzzy cuteness.
