Does seeing your pets sleep make you sleepy?

[Maddy McCall]

My cat is on the cat tree, asleep. My dogs are cuddled up on the dog bed asleep--Rada is snoring. I've got several things that I need to do today, but dang, my animals are sleeping and a nap sounds good.

[MrCoffee]

1. Seeing my cat sleep makes me want to stab him with roofing nails

just so he can see what it feels like when he does it to me.

[Maddy McCall]

17. Tell me about it.

Right now, I have a five inch long, three-clawed scratch on my chest...the kitty climbed me to get to a moth in the air last night.

One day, I'll get him back. :)

[PeaceNikki]

2. If it did, I'd ALWAYS be sleepy.

My dog and 2 cats are totally narcoleptic.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Mine are up all night...then they sleep all day.

Nothing better than having the cats playing chase, running across the bed at 3AM.

:D

[Lorien]

3. Yep

[Maddy McCall]

4. That last photo did it...I gotta take a quick nap now.

LOVE those photos. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I just spent a few minutes with Kittimus and WannaB, both curled up

on WannaB's bed...and now I need a nap.

[Maddy McCall]

8. LOL...

It's better than taking an ambien, isn't it?

Rada has moved from the dog bed to the couch beside me. She's still snoring. Yep, it's time for a nap. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. We should have a DU siesta time.

Mass Pet/DUer sleep ins. It would be wonderful.

[Maddy McCall]

15. We should.

Have elad shut down DU at 2PM for 30 minutes, so we could all grab a nap. :D

[southpaw]

6. Don't I wish!

I could save a bundle on Ambien CR!

[Maddy McCall]

22. Look at Lorien's photo of Olberon.

That doesn't make you sleepy?

:D

[scheming daemons]

7. No...but seeing my dog hump makes me horny....

;-)

[Maddy McCall]

9. perv.

:P

[DS1]

10. yeah, that's when I pick him up and put him over my chest

and we both have a nap

[Maddy McCall]

14. Awww.

That's sweet.

My dad who "doesn't like cats" can be caught any day at 1PM asleep in his recliner with JuJu asleep on his chest. I have pictures...lol.

[SOteric]

11. Nah. Just makes me smile.

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

19. You're lucky...

I will feel the ol' Baptist guilt if I dare nap in the middle of the day instead of doing what I should be doing.

Maybe I should brew a pot of coffee instead.

:(

[Haole Girl]

12. Yes!

In fact, I was just trying to explain to my husband how my cats taught me to "sleep off pain" but he thought I was crazy! :crazy:

[Maddy McCall]

20. Good....

Now I don't feel so lazy...glad to know others feel it, too.

:D

[mikeytherat]

18. I has a sleepy:

21. What a cutie.

Now I'm getting sleepier.

:D

[MadrasT]

23. Oh dear yes

When I go into the bedroom and 3 or 4 cats are stretched out on the bed, snoozing away... a nap ALWAYS seems like a good plan... the boy in the picture above will sleep ANYWHERE (pictured here in the middle of the kitchen floor).

[Maddy McCall]

24. He is gorgeous.

What a handsome boy.

[MadrasT]

27. Thanks!

Dumb as a post, he is. But he makes up for it by being almost embarrassingly handsome. He was adopted from a shelter... even pure bloodlines and pedigrees don't always save a kitty's fuzzy butt from being homeless. My other rescued cats are much more conventional "mutts", though equally beautiful, to me! Of course, I love the whole pack to bits!!!

More snoozers...

[Haole Girl]

25. I think a picture is worth a thousand words :-)

[Maddy McCall]

26. ZZZzzzzzzzzZzzzzzz

Huh? Whuh?

What a good looking kitty. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Stop it or I will have to get the toothpicks.

[littlebit]

29. Not really

If I did I would run this truck off the highway. Scooter sleeps most of the time I am driving.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

30. No, but when they are asleep on me, I get very lethargic.

[latebloomer]

31. I used to say my dog gave me "sleeping lessons"

She'd lie on the bed and sleep, and I'd lie down too and just drift away. Very soothing.

[Skittles]

32. it pisses me off

I work 12 hour night shifts, suffer from chronic insomnia yet am forced to witness scenes like this:

[Fran Kubelik]

33. everything makes me sleepy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. A sleeping cat has absolutely no affect on me.

Of course not. He can curl up in a cuddly furry little ball, not a care in the world, all warm and cozy, and it does nothing whatsoever for me, nothi













what?

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Good Grief yes. I call it the Cat Sleep Vortex

they lie there on the bed, luring you to pet them, you know just sit there for a minute and cuddle them and boom! Three hours later, they are long gone to another nap spot and you are just now waking up.

The cat has narcotic skills, I tell ya.

Maddy did you ever get your cat to use the Breeze Box?

just to show cats really can sleep anywhere:

no hope for any of us
