Falling asleep
Does anyone else have cats whose head drops when they fall asleep?
I was thinking about things my cats do that make us laugh. 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?! Moi |

Moi yes Bebe can be asleep on your lap and you can lift her up and move her to another chair, and she wont even stir, the kitten is like it too! I thought it was just in their breeding both being from Ragdoll cats! -- Luv 'n stuff *~*SooZy*~* http://community.webshots.com/user/ragdollcatsuk |

Well, if we humans start to do this at an interminably boring meeting, we get all embarrassed & try to find ways to force ourselves to stay awake instead of literally nodding off. ;-) The cats, otoh, seem to have no real qualms about it & just eventually go w/ the flow.

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 Yeh that's more like it - they do a bit of nodding first - like they are fighting it, then it crashes all of a sudden. Mine are Siamese too! Non of the other cats I know do this.
