Poll: Which direction do your cats like to face?
In ceramics I'm making a statue of a cat sleeping on a rather rudimentary
sofa. Since my owners tend to face to my right when sleeping I faced my sleeping cat to the right. One of the other students saw this and told me that her cat also faces to the right when sleeping. 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? Pam S. getting paranoid |

But not always. Jo |

Poll: Which direction do your cats like to face?
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.

I think they do all different things - whatever happens to suit them in the moment. The one thing I *do* notice is that when all 3 of them are on the bed, two of them will be in identical positions, and the third will be in the same position, but backward. It never fails. So, if two are curled clockwise, the third will be curled counterclockwise. If two are meatloafing toward one wall (and in perfectly parallel positions), the third will be meatloafing exactly 180 degrees the other way. And it's not always the same cat who has to do it differently, which is why I spoke of them in general terms. They've all had their turn being the opposing-position cat at one time or another. What do you suppose that is about?? Joyce |

Pam S. getting paranoid Don't let them get you down Pam :-) My boys *usually* sleep counterclockwise when they are alone on the bed. Otis always sleeps facing my face. Whenever I roll over, he gets up, often steps on my neck, walks to the other side, and curls up to face me again. Susan M Otis and Chester |

What do you suppose that is about?? LOL! Confuse-a-human? My cat sleep either way, but lap-sitting is something else. Frank and Nikki both used to settle down facing my right, Frank often had his paws on my right shoulder, Nikki usuall eventually climbed up on my right shoulder. But Mir and Cal prefer my left shoulder! I lift them up the same way I lifted F&N, with my right hand under the chest, the left hand strokes the back, turns the tail down, and lifts. If Mir turns around so she faces left, I know she will settle down in my arms for a while. If she doesn't, she will accept a few scritches, then leave. Caliban also turns around to face left after I've lifted him. More confuse-a-human. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
