It's the perfect spot! Round, and just the right size. Exactly what's
needed for curling up.

Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good
many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

Sort of related, I read somewhere cats prefer to eat out of larger food
bowls (even if not a lot of food) because it's more comfortable. Sorry,
I have no citation. It might have been a blurb on a page of my small
365-day cat calendar.

Same thing with nap spots in bowls, boxes, etc. They use their whiskers
to sense the size of a space. What I read said small food bowls can
make them a little uncomfortable because their whiskers get pushed back
when they eat. If true, it makes sense a cat would seek out a bowl,
even a toilet bowl! of appropriate size for napping.

Then again, there's always this:

Funny, thanks for that. (Boyfie would die rather be in
a toilet to have a foto, so "not" cool)

That's the reason I use oval bowls for Duffy and Selina. The "long"
position of the bowls provides extra space for their whiskers. Some people
use flat plates instead of bowls for that same reason.

We must have the same cat calender as I read about it there not long ago.
I still had Rusty's wide flat dish. He liked to be spoon fed. I kept
telling him he was not a kitten. Oh how I miss him.

Just read about photographers that took pictures of terminally ill pets
with their owner.

Wish I got a picture taken with Rusty before he went to RB.
