Charlie has always been a big boy. When he came to live with us back in February he was twice the size of his two sisters. He has such long legs he sometimes seems as if he doesn't know what to do with them. Once the basket he's sleeping in above contained several decorative balls. He used to be able to fit in their around them. Now he's grown so much I've taken the balls out of the basket. He still loves sleeping there, but finds it harder to fit himself in these days. Maybe one day he'll give up trying and find another space.

Ahh... kinda similar to when my 15 yr old nephew insisted that his favorite beetles shirt still fits nicely... but John Lenon's face on the shirt seemed a bit flatter and stretched. My nephew just won't admit he grew a tummy during the summer break.

@sofssu he's quite striking. He finds it difficult to hide because is whiteness is so bright.

I love the way cats can just switch off and lose themselves in sleep.

Maybe it's time to give a matress on that sleeping area of his. Ever tried to bring him a new bed or something?

He has many favourite places to sleep. Cats seek out interesting places and like to be independent my bed is another of his favourite places!

Charlie is lovely, cats love to squeeze themselves in small spaces. The young kitten who comes to visit, use my garden shoes to rest a moment before eating.

Ours is a young fellow so he's full of energy. He sleeps, wakes, explores, repeating through the day and night.

Cats find the oddest spots. Mine was just walking in front of the tv.

It's his favourite spot and I'm not sure he would want to move unless he finds another place that he feels secure and way more comfortable. he looks so adorable all curled up in there.

@valmnz My cat prefers to be somewhere higher not smaller spaces.

@toniganzon oh he likes it high too! The wee box he used to sleep in on top of a tall cupboard fell apart.

Pets have their choices. Our Bagira loved our kitchen mat. It was in shreds and yet he would look for it grab it and curl up.

Yes and then one day they'll discard what seems to be a favourite and find somewhere else.

Pets can be funny sometimes that's for sure. I didn't realize you were around again, but maybe you come and go like many of us do sometimes?

No he has several favourite sleeping places, as long as he's close to one of us.
