| 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. 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?!

Brat, my Siamese, does this, but in a funnier way. His head does not simply drop a bit,
spring back and eventually get lower.

He falls dead asleep with his head in a fully upright position, then his muscles just let
go and his head comes crashing down onto whatever surface he is sleeping on. The thump
and the smacked chin and nose don't even wake him up. The first time he did this, I
thought he had died. I had to wake him up to make sure...LOL
