Does anyone else have cats whose head drops when they fall asleep?

I was thinking about things my cats do that make us laugh.

In the evening they like to sit with us when we watch TV. Now like most
cats
they sleep a lot but remain alert. However there are times when they fall
hard and fast asleep, and I mean hard and fast. The first sign is their
head
starting to drop - like when you nod off as a passenger in a car. To begin
with they raise their heads with a start, then progressively it gets lower
and lower.

Well, if we humans start to do this at an interminably boring meeting, we
get all embarrassed & try to find ways to force ourselves to stay awake
instead of literally nodding off. ;-) The cats, otoh, seem to have no real
qualms about it & just eventually go w/ the flow.

Regularly Yash (the male) ends up with the point of his nose on
the leather sofa and can't breath properly, it doesn't wake him - he just
snores. Boudica (the female) usually manages to aim for my lap or in the
cup
of my hand. I can move her head around like she's a rag doll (to some
extent) and she doesn't even flinch, never mind wake up. I only know she
is
still alive because then she starts twitching and chattering like she is
dreaming about catching birds - they have to dream because they are both
hopeless hunters! I mean how do you expect to catch a bird if you yell at
it
first?!
