Name this sleeping position...

[catcrazylady]

Ok you guys I have poured over the "Furminology" dictionary that sirrahbed made and I can't come up with anything for this! Only my silly boy Pete could possibly come up with this weird position. What on earth would you call this pose?

Not so bad from the front view. No big deal right?

Let's name that pose!

[Logan]

I think it is a "turkey" pose! Look at those haunches sticking up, almost like drumsticks!!! LOL!!!! :D

[Laura's Babies]

Duellies, like a truck with 4 wheels on the back and HUDGE fenders...DUELLIE POSE! (did I spell that right?)

[trayi52]

I don't know what to call it, but that just the cutest pose I have seen in ages. Looks like he got sleepy, and just couldn't take another step!

Willie:)

[lat192004]

How about "carpet mushing"?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Awwww whatever it's called he sure looks cute doing it.:)

[Fallon]

very funny

[trayi52]

It is funny, and carpet mushing does sound like a pretty good name for it.

Willie:)

[Pam]

I don't have a name for it but I am envious of his flexibility! :D Just look at those front legs! LOL! Oh to be as pliable as a kitty and to be able to get into all of those positions without waking up with *kinks.* :p

Your right Willie! Thats exactly what it looks like! He does some weird contortionist moves and sleeps in weird ways. Maybe he is double jointed!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/smile.gif

[catmandu]

[K & L]

PERFECT!!! It does look like a turkey or chicken!

[Cataholic]

Carpet mushing... I think that is the best description.

Dakky is the only one of my kitties that does it. It is adorable!

[ramanth]

Can't think of a name, but that is so cute!

[rkidsrcats]

We call that "the slug" or "the snail". Verb form is to be "slugged out" on the floor or the futon. Usually happens on the back of the futon after high bursts of racing up and down the hallway!!
:D

[RedHedd]

I call it the turkey pose (look at those drumsticks! :eek: ) .... or a winged meatloaf .... or is that a '57 Chevy with fenders? :D

[lat192004]

I have studied the picture, and have never caught my cats like this.It could be called"Cat'le Grazing" ?.

[catcrazylady]

You guys are so funny! What names!! I thought the turkey thing too but that twisted front leg threw me off. I guess he could be a broken winged turkey!!!
Carpet mushing!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
Cat'l grazing!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
Slug! :D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

You guys will have to figure out the name for this mess. He certainly does have some serious drumsticks!!

[QueenScoopalot]

How about 'pretzeling'? He looks about as twisted as a pretzel.:D

[DogLover9501]

LOL That is funny!! That position would put me in a hospital!

[RICHARD]

My mom calls that the 'fender' pose.....from the old cars with fenders.

[wolf_Q]

LOL! I agree with the "slug" because he looks he was crawling along the ground and fell asleep.

I know this is the cat side, but check out Nebo's sleeping position in this pic!

[sirrahbed]

At our house we call that the *TURKEY LOAF*, a variation of the meatloaf except with those silly bony hips up at an angle - looks like a turkey trussed and ready for the oven....except Pete kinda looks like he has a broken turkey neck:eek:

[kuhio98]

Here is Pepper's attempt. She's too small for "full turkey". Hers is more of the scrawny rubber chicken look.

OK Reddhedd;

This is a song by the Bangles(I looked in Google). I know I'm dumb, tell me the connection to "splay and splat"? This has been bothering me all day(you can sure tell I have an exciting life?lol);

Thanks---Lat19

OK ReddHedd quoted "splay and splat" and then talked about the song "Walk like an Egyptian"...sooooo....Lat looks up the song and ponders all day on the connection and logic....
:D :D
PAUL - we don't always make much sense here!! :rolleyes: :eek: :D

[catcrazylady]

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! You guys are so funny!

I think I have to agree that "Turkey Melt" seems to fit. It's how you all got there that is such a hoot!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

[kimlovescats]

I immediately thought "crash landing" when I saw it!!!
But Turkey Melt is good! :)

[lizzielou742]

How about naming this sleeping position? With paw on top of head?

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid115/pbfeb4beec658a5c4670aa9a937bf4540/f8c2bee8.jpg

I have no idea what to call that!
