Sorry the picture isn't very good, but Sweepy used to do this when he was younger:

Yep foxy does it all the time ... I call it her "seal" impression cuz she looks like a beached seal  :rofl: :rofl:
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

dogs often do it to cool down (their tummy has less hair so they can gain coolness from the ground. Smidgen does it because he can .... Esther is far too much of a lady for that sort of carryon ...

Yes - that's the one. I think its the funniest thing but looks like it couldn't possibly be comfortable! I'll have to try to get a pic of her doing it.

I've never seen a cat do this before and keep meaning to get a photo of Lexie doing it. When any of my other cats sit down they curl their back legs underneath them. Lexie stretches her back legs out behind her and her front legs right out in front of her so that she looks like she is doing the splits. Anyone else seen their cat do this?
