I hadn’t noticed it before but, though all my cats - indeed, all cats - love their comfort, Josie seems to seek out that little extra. The Kick-a-roos aren’t used much for kicking anymore, though they are still wrestling partners and chew-toys for the beasts. Tucker also likes to lie behind one to try to seize a string-toy as it gets pulled by him. The Tackle-fish, sole (!) survivor of a school of three, serves similar purposes. But Josie has another use for them; perhaps an obvious one, but not one her roommates have discovered.
Now and then, I will find my Chubs using the toys as pillows. I don’t know if feline bodies are made for using a pillow, but Josie seems to find them comfortable even so. They apparently have a strong appeal when the possibility of lying in sunshine offers itself. Perhaps they impart that extra bit of heat to a fuzzy face.
I do like seeing the Great White taking her leisure. She doesn’t seem to sleep more now at thirteen years of age than she did at five, when I first adopted her. But when she sleeps, she is the picture of rest. Especially with a pillow tucked under that little head.
Very sweet! Josie sure knows how to relax.

ReplyDeleteMiss Poppy is fond of a pillow two, but I wonder if it is the big girls find it makes them more comfortable?
ReplyDeleteThey do like their heads elevated a bit, don't they!
ReplyDeleteI may be doing a wee bit of sewing this weekend.
It's nice to know that Josie believes in recycling. What once was a toy is now a pillow. Good for you, Josie! You're environmentally conscious.
ReplyDeleteJosie is very smart to use the kicker for extra comfort.
ReplyDeleteJosie knows how to make the best of old toys -- she's great at re-purposing. :-)
ReplyDeleteNone of the boys' toys is large enough to use as a comfy pillow, they've never seemed to care for the large kick-a-roos, things like that.
Happy weekend to you all!
I think Josie has found that a pillow does provide that added touch of comfort to one's head and neck. She looks so comfortable and I am sure, enjoying sweet dreams.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a sweetie! I've never seen one of my cats do this. Josie is a smart girl.
