It delights us when Goldie the cat does the classic cat moves, like when he sits on the window sill Halloween style. Lately he's branched out into classic cat bathroom behaviors. I can't get him to lap up water as it's coming out of the faucet, but one day we arrived home to find that he'd unrolled half of the toilet paper. Classic move.
However, his sleeping position is a little unique. I can't find it on the "Cat Body Language Explained" pages.
It's like a cat jackknife dive, but more pinched in. Picture the Olympic dive pictured in the stamp below, but with the paws stretched past the feet.
He isn't sleeping hard when he does it, so I can't get a photo. However, a reddit user posted this.
Take that cat, but parallel point the front paws out like he's Superman. That's Goldie's pose.
I don't know what that position means at all. Not relaxed, certainly. If a classic curl means he's conserving warmth, maybe this means he's cold but his hands are hot? He's jack-knifed in pain? The TV is too loud? We smell bad?
