Angel is just soooo beautiful and he is not really tabby but has spots similar to one of the cats I did in my A-Z of cats.<br />I can't take pics of Precious now. For some reason she is terrified of the camera and even if I turn it on in the next room she hears something and runs for her life.<br />I hope you are getting a few less scratches now.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-56707570168041122492014-06-16T15:00:40.225+09:302014-06-16T15:00:40.225+09:30He is such a beautiful kitty - such nice markings....He is such a beautiful kitty - such nice markings.

My dog, Kyt....... River..your Angel is gorgeous....<br />My dog, Kyton sleeps at least 85% of the time... he has a few minutes of activity and then ..back to sleep.He is 11 years old and has been like this his whole life..<br />I sometimes think it would be great to just sleep anytime anywhere...like Angel and Kyton.. then again ... it sounds a bit boring...<br />Hugs and blessings...

Andrew; I wish...joeh; yes it is, I've done it.<br /><br />Andrew; I wish! I've been feeling very tired lately and wish I could nap as often as Angel.<br /><br />Joanne; sometimes that one waking hour is a nightmare.<br /><br />Kath; if I didn't have to much else that needs doing I'd be sleeping too. I'm lucky enough I can fall asleep easily.<br /><br />Delores; it's the lots and lots of attention that is getting me so tired.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; when I have time and opportunity I can relax well, but I'll envy their flexibility until the day I die.<br /><br />lotta joy; angel will chase balls but hasn't yet learned to bring one back to me. He walks on my face when I'm sleeping too. <br /><br />Merle; I shut Angel out of the bedroom now until predawn, when he wakes and has a mouthfuls of dry food, I have to get up then and wee anyway, so after that he comes to bed and sleeps on my hair or chest until he's hungry, then I get the licking.<br /><br />Lee; a lot like a teenage boy. Half an hour of frenzied activity followed by 15 hours of sleep. <br /><br />Vicki; I'd love to nap when he does and sometimes do, but there is so much else that needs doing and when Angel is sleeping is the only time I can do much of it. I'll check that link.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-80402064811856941002014-06-14T13:22:43.952+09:302014-06-14T13:22:43.952+09:30I know we live in a time of exact scientific measu...I know we live in a time of exact scientific measurement but there is no discernible upper limit to how much sleep a cat needs.

Perhaps...Lovely images.<br />I envy his flexibility too.<br />Perhaps you could take cat naps when he does? I know it's difficult for us humans, when we always have stuff to do during the day.<br />Cats save their energy for their nocturnal activities.<br />You've probably read this, but here's a relevant link...<br />http://www.perfectpaws.com/noct.html#.U5vCS7FPbsE<br /><br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-74041014134918712702014-06-14T12:31:05.445+09:302014-06-14T12:31:05.445+09:30Angel is dreaming about what mischief he's got...Angel is dreaming about what mischief he's gotten up to, and what further mischief he can get up to once he awakens. <br /><br />A boy must have his sleep, you know!

And the 'side view' of cats' mouths always gets me - such cute smiles they have.<br /><br />As for sleeping, dogs are like that too. I honestly think that they say to themselves: "Ah well, nothing's happening right now, so why not have a nap?" It's a skill I envy!<br />MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-54225795686753121142014-06-14T06:08:53.919+09:302014-06-14T06:08:53.919+09:30Twenty three out of twenty four hours, it seems.
