Too cute.

Mine would kill each other before allowing another cat to sleep in THEIR sunspot.

Hmm, now that I think about it..Soba looks like she's plotting their demise.

Awwwwwwww! Aren't they the cutest! I always felt bad about leaving my two kitty-babies alone while I'm at work. I'm working from home today. You know what they do all day? The same thing your lovelies are doing. Curl up in a ball and sleep. All freakin' day. I'm sooooooo jealous. Also, soooooo not feeling guilty any more. Someone's got to bring home the Meow Mix, and they're sure not looking to keen on getting jobs.

So. Freaking. Cute. It looks like the best thing to do with a bed on a Monday morning.

I'm so happy I can get my cat fix here--we're not allowed pets in my building. GrrSnarl.

Oh my gosh HOW CUTE? Now, how did you have the strength to go to work today?

My pets have been very snuggly too lately. Hummm.

Hello? But is that SUNSHINE I see?? HOLY COW!! That is, right?! The sun ... spouting sunshine? WOW!!!!

(you'll have to excuse my excitement. I'm in Portland Oregon and this January is breaking rain records that haven't been broken since the 50s. Portland Oregon ... breaking rain records. You KNOW that's a lot of rain! So yeah, yeah .. the cats are cute ... but bless ya for letting me see that the sun still exists!! I was beginning to have my doubts!)

wow.. your kitties get along so nicely. When I had 2 it was growls and yowls every day.

lol...a familiar sight!

SO CUTE!!! It must make it awfully hard to get up and out of bed in the morning with the whole clan still asleep :)

BTW. in re: yesterdays post - Learning to date as an adult, when newly single, was a huge thrill for me, and spending my early 30s going out with "whomever I damned please" (what you're 25? sure.. why not), was a hell of a lot of fun.
Enjoy it!

thats soo cool, i wish my kitty liked to cuddle!

They're just like kids; perfect little angels when they are sleeping. But then they wake up and it's "he's in my sunspot," "she took my catnip toy," "Mommy, it's MY TURN to sit in your lap." I know their game.

Big ol' Awwwwwwwww... I'd have a tough time leaving a pile of cute kitties like that to go to work. Do they usually all congregate in one spot like that? Thanks for the kitty fix.

How is Roy doing these days?

Your kitties are so sweet!

Psst--have you been to the post office lately??

Helen

Ah, bless. I like how they form a rectangle and how Soba uses Roy as a barrier for protection from the kittens.

I love the pictures. We've got five cats and if we do not pull the covers up as we are literally getting out of bed, it can often end up staying unmade all day for the same reason. Although ours don't usually get so close to each other unless there is a mutual grooming party (followed shortly thereafter by the 'you bit my tail and now I must smack you repeatedly upside the head' party) going on.

hehehe... they're sweet when they're ASLEEP. And yes, Sobakowa needs a barrier between her royalty self and the lowly cats. Roy is doing better. He's mad, hates medicine, hates the vet, but what can you do. I have not been to the mail lately. Saturday I stayed home until Jen came and got me to take me to Target and Trader Joe's, she braved catching the Bird Flu from me!! Now that is a true friend :)

Reminds me of my own kitty possee. Too cute.

I guess I didn't realize that you have 4 cats. Me too! Cats rock.

OMG I'm in love...they are so adorable! I wish my 3 would get along enough to snuggle on the bed - if by some miracle they are on the same bed they are all in different corners.

That is one of the cutest cat pics ever. Really. My Tiger refuses to share the sunspots with Zoe. Refuses. She doesn't even try anymore.

That's not Reason #274 - it's Reason #s 1,2,3 & 4!

So much kitty love!

Awwwww....

That is so cute I got a little choked up. I have been known to just pull the covers and sheets up over the sleeping cats and let the bed have a tumor until they crawl out. I only have two cats, though. And they won't shank me in my sleep like Soba might.

Well, obviously. Who can possibly compete with the sunny parallelogram of supreme furdom?

Who needs a reason? But, damn, I love that picture! They are too sweet when they're sleepy - just like kids. It's when they wake up and open their mouths you wanna slap 'em...

Ooops, did I say that?

Awww... so sweet! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one whose bed is covered in cat hair.

I especially like the photo of Bob cuddling Roy's tail.

:) I would just call in sick to work and snuggleuppagus with the kids all day. You're a stronger man than I. . .

Looks like a Kitty Pi...

NICE four-cat pileup!

The cuteness! It burns!! I have on occasion woken up with my three strategically arranged around me so that I can't actually get out of bed without their cooperation.

P.S - The look on Bob's face reminds me of my Dorian....

oh how darling they are!

Best phrase of the day by Eklectica: "Sunny parallelogram of supreme furdom!" Made me laugh snortilly! Thank you kindly!

this hurt me in my cuteness filtration places.

Alright! Another Frankie picture.

I live in Portland Oregon also and I'm expecting to hear when we're supposed to go load up the ark.

Awwwwww....how cute!!!!!!

Guess what, I couldn't resist anymore....I've got myself two skeins of Noro Silk Garden and am knitting myself a basketweave scarf!!!!!

Best reason for an unmade bed I ever saw :)

what an adorable bunch of warm lazy cats. They have the right idea for a Monday morning. I have just one cat and he takes up half the bed as it is.

I never make my bed.

Too cute. And a great excuse not to have to make your bed.

Oh my gosh, they are all touching each other. How cute are they!

I wouldn't make my bed either in this case!

I am a cat lover, and sigh, just have one, but I too was struck more by the sun. I live in Eugene (hi to the PDX folks) and right now am blinded by the crazy white light from the sky, although moments ago we had hail. And moments from now, we'll probably have it again.

I think my cat needs a friend so we can all snuggle on the bed together and avoid work.

Your cats are lovely! I love the way that they have made the bed their very own.

Bear with me now -- it's a "menage a quatre"! (sorry, I don't do accent marks).

That's why I didn't make my bed today too. No REALLY. Of course, I only had one kitty on the bed, but hey I didn't want to disturb her.

That's so adorable. Roy seems to be the center that the rest all gravitate around. My two seem to need at least a foot of space between them at all times.

That is why I don't have cats (aside from the serious allergies that is). Cats are like the crack of the animal world. I could never stop at just four. And you know where that would lead. You would undoubtedly see me in a housecoat and slippers yelling at some Animal Cop on one of those Animal Planet shows. ;)

That is so freaking adorable. I wouldn't make my bed either under those circumstances. But I do under most. How can you get into an unmade bed? Practice? lol.

That bed's not made??? It looks like it is made to me -- made just right for those fur people.

When I had three cats I would have to move very slowly out of bed so I wouldn't disturb the cats that were sleeping on top of me. One of them would sleep under the covers next to me. When I split with my husband, (he left me, two kids, three cats and a pile of bills... eventually I moved out of the house because I could't afford it and he moved back in) the cat that he allowed to stay freaked when she couldn't find me and ran away. He got rid of the other two. I am not sure I will ever forgive the ex for that. I miss my kitties more than him.

Awwwww, so cute! Makes me want my own kitties. :)

OMG, they're even cuter all together!!

Awwww... They are so precious together.

I think I am no longer going to refer to you as Laurie, Purl or Wool-Freak.
Instead, I think I am going to go with Julie. The original catwoman.

Hmmmm - - funny, that's the same reason I can't make MY bed most mornings - - my 2 furbabies curl up and take over! :-)

Thanks for sharing - - they are precious!

Simon meows at me in the morning until I get up - if I don't get up then (like, because it's a weekend -- Simon says, what's a weekend?), he starts knocking things of the bedside table. So eventually I get out of bed, and he immediately lays down exactly where I was. I used to think he was worried I'd be late for work, but apparently he's late for his nap.....

You might just consider, in this year of our lord 2006, asking a guy out, instead of waiting for one to ask you out?

just a suggestion....

Actually, is that a may-an under those cats?

I have four cats also but they don't really like to be in the same room as each other, one hisses at the cute fluffy one (understandably of course), the boy pounces on any other cat who walks past him, and the oldest one doesn't know what day it is, forgets that she's just been let out and comes back in again, sleeps in the rain etc, poor girl. I wish they'd learn to get along, you are lucky to have such friendly cats.

(My husband left me too, but we live in the same house because of our daughter and our cats, we couldn't split the cats up)

If I had that going on at home, it would be reason #274 for me NOT TO GET OUT OF bed in the morning. zzzzzzzz

well, being so far down the old comment list, i dont expect you'll see this Laurie, but i hope you do.

if you think you have a lot of cats, check out these people

www.thecatshouse.com

and why doesnt yer blog allow html tags in the comments. grrrrr!

LiveJournal allows html tags

I love it! Who needs Mr. X when you've got that posse? The picture of Bob is priceless.

Just disgusting. ALL OF YOU LISTEN UP! GET JOBS RIGHT NOW! Lazy buggers...mutter, mutter...mooching fur puddles of cute...

I've had a similar phenomena occur here and it makes it nearly impossible to 1) get out of and 2) stay out of bed. Just cruel.

I only have the two kittens. They have gotten quite used to my current job situation as have I. We spend hours just lounging around which reminds me...

Stella in NY? Sorry dear, but it's spelled manage a catre!(sorry, couldn't help it!)

"It's rainin' Cats, hallelujah ...."

I was thinking more like "we have joy, we have fun, we have kitties in the sun", sung to the tune of "Seasons in the Sun".

And was it just me, or am I the only one who wanted to rotate the first picture to get a better look at Soba's face?
*crickets*
Ok, then.

Such sweeties...

And that look in the eye...""What's this? Oh yes, someone is definitely holding my tail! They shall be killed!"

I can usually only get two at a time, but did get three cats ONCE, New Years Day. They were hungover...

Oh so cute! I LOVE how all your kitties are friends! It's a miracle you got out of bed.
My male cat doesn't tolerate female cats, and the last male cat companion he had tended to dominate him, so he's a spoiled single cat now.

Is that also your excuse for no new post today?! :)

Leslie -- say it out loud -- I was trying to avoid a pun which was even more egregious than puns are to begin with :-)

I've actually made my bed around my cats. Entire bed will be made except for the one corner the cats are on. Really how can you make them move? After all they only get 20 hrs of sleep in a 24 hr day.

The cats are too cute! Makes me want to go back to bed. Regarding all the germs, get some anti-bacterial handwash. I carry a small bottle in my purse and have a full size bottle in my car. Helps get rid of the yucky germs.

So precious that each one has just a little bit of the sun spot to share!

It's a furry puddle of joy! Roy makes a good Soba guard.

ahem...cute pics, but i'm dying for a new post! help a sister out!

I second that, Bess.

I'm betting she needs time to divine our Hor-o-scopes for February...

you're probably right Tess

Oh, man. I hope they're LUNAR horrorscopes, y'know, based on the Chinese new year!! That would be so totally coooooool!!!! (hint, hint)

You think Purlie Gurl is ok and just getting our horrorscopes together? I'll check back tomorrow :)

Stella, I know, believe me, but those who don't know the pronounciation will get the spelling too (I guess between the two of us we got it all covered, huh? :->)

OOOOhhhh
CAP withdrawal...........
I need a fix

*weeps at lack of feb 1 post*

*weeps profusely*

*points to her blog where there is a cute, if perhaps ham-handed homage to purl*

so friggin' cute.

It's February! I need my Hor-o-Scopes woman! There's no time for bed making or kitty cuteness. I have to know what the month will hold for me! How will I function without my fortune being told? (Answer: I won't function. Must have Hor-o-Scopes!)

Very sweet kitties. If I didnt have four children I would have four cats.

living breathing reasons you want to keep alive ! Beats my reasons on not going to bed...! nice pics

Happy Groundhog Day!!!!

I never make my bed. OK, I only make my bed when I change the sheets and if non-family non-close-friends are coming over.

And if I had sun beams to sleep in all day (and disposable wealth) I would never even leave my bed. Here's a nice day-dream: Lay in bed all day with kitties in sun beams knitting hats and Bobbi Bears. I'm just sayin'.

I love these pictures so much I could cry.
