How does Ripley fit?

[jazzcat]

I walked into the sunroom and saw this. I don't see how Ripley squeezes himself in there sometimes.

I tried to get a close up - he's between the chair legs with his head resting on top.

Then he moved in for closer close up.

Moments before I took the pictures Scout had been in the top perch of the cat tree. I put up a new bird bath outside and they watch it by the hour.

I don't know HOW cats can squeze into some places...and sleep there to boot! Im convinced cats don't have bones, they just present that illusion...

Ripley is a very handsome boy indeed. Is he part or full Maine coon?

[jazzcat]

He's part Maine Coon. His mother was a solid white Maine Coon and his dad... a mystery. He weighs in at almost 18 pounds right now - down from his heavier days. The vet would like to see him down to 16.5 - 17.

Love the sunroom and Ripley pictures Lori! What I also notice is how similar Rip and Dylan's facial expressions are - must be those big round green eyes? I think it as Twink who said he reminded her of her grandma!!:D Something about a wise look.
Anyway - I really enjoyed these pictures. I don't know he fits under there either!!:eek:

Ripley has magic tricks up his sleeves, err furr legs :)

[Laura's Babies]

He has a new name "The amazing Squished Cat!" He has learned how to squish himself to fit these places!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I've always been amazed at what they can squeeze themselves into, also. Although I have to admit, using the chair leg for a head rest was a good idea. ;) :D

He has such an adorable mug. :D

Last Winter I left my patio door open about maybe 4" if that and sure enough I watched as Max squeezed his furry body out onto the deck. What's with that??:confused:

Kisses to you sweet Ripley. Don't give away your secret.

[Twink]

Awwww, Ripley's such a big handsome hunk of fur. You just gotta love him. :)

What a great back yard you have!

[kimlovescats]

I'm not surprised that Ripley can squeeze under that chair ... he squeezed himself right into my HEART a looooooong time ago!!!:D

[catnapper]

I never realized what a big boy Ripley is before! But like all kitty cats, the tighter the space, the happier they are - unless of course its the hooman's bed. then they spread out and demand as much space as they can possibly take up!

[catcrazylady]

Ripley you are an extra handsome boy!!! I don't know how you fit in there but you sure are cute!!
Lori I still can't get over how much he and Magoo look alike! It jsut blows me away. You'll have to tell Ripley that he has a "Mini Me" in Kentucky!:D :D http://67.15.70.205/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

Your back yard is GORGEOUS!

[catmandu]

That is always amazing to me, how these Big Cats, want to squeeze themselves,into such Small Spaces! You think that they couldnt possibly,be comfortable,but there they are!

[sirrahbed]

Funny to look at all over again! When our plush kitties squeeze into tight spaces - hubby always rolls his eyes and says they have a "good body image!" Guess Ripley has a good self image:D - as he should!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I don't know how they do it either but mine love to sleep in small places too. I guess it makes them feel extra secure.:)

Ripley sure is gorgeous no matter where he decides to sleep.:)

[rkidsrcats]

I'm laughing because when I looked at the first picture, I didn't even see Ripley - I was looking at the cat tree and saying.."what am I missing here?" Then I scrolled down and saw where he had scooched himself into...camouflage to the max.
Tiger and Pippin try to do this too - Tiger was halfway into an empty cereal box the other day before I had to rescue him. Pippin is, however, getting a little to round in the middle to get into the places he used to go!
Ain't they all cute!:p
