I was telling Rob about this when I noticed that Huey and Merlin were
shifting their positions on the bed...to the left. Since that time, all of
the cats are doing their best to confuse us. May I suggest that you don't
mention this poll in front of your owner, but answer. Does your cat face to
your right or left when sleeping curled up?

Blacky and Merlin normally oppose each other. If Blacky sleeps curled
up clockwise then Merlin will do so counterclockwise and vice versa.

Sometimes one of them gets up, stretches, yawns, makes a hump and
curls up in opposite direction. Not long after that, the other will do
the same - presumably to restore universal symmetry.

On other times they use an even more universal symmetry and curl up
like Yin and Yang:

BTW, won't the Yin and Yang-motive make a perfect draft for a ceramic
cat assembly - a black with a white cat?

Mesdames Roxie and Sabrina prefer to curl counterclockwise, while Odessa has
gotten in touch with her inner otter, and enjoys lying on her back. Stosh and
Brandy prefer to sleep on their sides, usually with their heads to the left,
and try to stretch to maximum cat-limit. Chubby, fluffy Brandy looks
especially like a little rug when she does this, so Louie and I have proven
that we watch way too many episodes of "The Nanny" by nicknaming her "Rugaleh.
"


That's a cookie!

Usually, but not always, clockwise, for Shmogg.

Fluffy .... well, she's a dog but thinks she's a cat. She does her very best
to meatloaf.

When he's curled around my head, Smokey usually his head pointed left.
When he's sleeping on my feet, his head points right (in relationship to
me). What's up with that?

Stinky curls counter-clockwise.
