Ritzy sits in this position a LOT and I always think it looks really uncomfortable, like she's all tensed up and ready to pounce, but she will sit like this for hours....her tummy parts barely touch the floor when she is like this....I call it kind of a "hover cat" pose...
...also I think this pose makes her looks HUGE - like she is trying to imitate a Thanksgiving turkey:eek:
Yep. mine do it all the time. Here's a pic of Neko. When he sits like that, the lighter colored grey fur on his shoulders sticks out and it looks like he has 2 white shoulders!

That pose of Ritzy is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too comical for words. I just died laughing!
Hmmm... Does she do this pose most often after watching Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" videos? What other imitations does she do?
Hahaha!
Ritzy: "You talkin to me??"
Come to think of it I always suspected there was a kitty mafia! :p

ROTFLOL...she does look like a real "wide load" in this shot, like she just ate a whole thanksgiving turkey!
And Neko, PUmpkin is just scrumptious! Looks like PUmpkin is doing a balancing act, all the toes really close together! How sweet
xx
I got the hiccups from laughing at that sumo reference....Ritzy just ran off in a snit
Ritzy a sumo wrestler..... All Creatures Great and Small....You're spot on:D :D :D
rofl that pic with the sumo is hilarious!!
Ha ha ha, that's hilarious!!! Let's hope whoever said 'the camera never lies' got it wrong!

Ya mean like this?
ROTFLMAO !!!!
Oh oh , my belly still hurts ...:D :D
If I didn't know better, I'd say that was my Cookie ! Recently rescued from the streets and COD a few days ago. She sits like that ALL the time...on the floor, on my bed, on top of the computer, on the scanner ! She usually has her left paw tucked under her right one . :)
I believe it's known as DaFURR.Quote:

PLEASE don't tell her I sent in this pix of her ! She would be mortified, totally relaxed, yes....but mortified.:)
Great pics everyone! Ritzy sure looks huge, but we all know better, she's not!
Our duo doesn't sit like that, but oh so many other funny ways though :rolleyes:

wow!!! THERE IS a striking resemblance! Ritzy has 3 white spots, shaped like diamonds...one under her chin, one on her chest between front legs and one between the back legs (look at the picture in my signature)...looks mighty familiar! And what a great pic - cats can relax and sleep in such neat places. Is Cookie as full of personality as she looks?
Cookie is as sweet as her name - never a growl or hiss, just sweet meek meows. But if I'm not up by 6 am, she takes the blanket in her teeth and shakes it ![COLOR=blue]
Love the belly shot!

OHHHHH I saw her private parts!!!! What a sweet kitty. Welcome to Pet Talk. I really have a thing for those tuxies..:D
Yewhew, thanks for the extra shots of Cookie, she is gorgeous! Welcome to Pet Talk, by the way...
Juni also sits like this and I she looks a little bigger than normal, but not that big. Her father was a 6kg cat, but her mom - Naomi was twice smaller than Juni now, so she looks more like Naomi. She does a lot of exercises, still, her belly fur hangs like her father's.
Yewhew, so glad to see finally Cookie's hidden white spots. We want more pictures!
Oooh what a sweet and beautiful tuxie!!!Quote:

It's all in the camera angle!

Oh my goodness!!! :D ROTFL :D :D This is just too too funny. When I saw the first pic, I died laughing, and then I saw this and laughed so hard I thought I'd pee my pants! LOL LOL JK, but that is hi-larious!Quote:
That pose certainly does look uncomfortable. Marius will perch like that on the end of our couch. It's a semi-catloaf position. Maybe I'll start calling it the "sumo position"! ;) :D
Wow :eek: :eek: Ritzy does look huge!!! And that sumo wrestler reference is hilarious!!! :D Tubby is way too relaxed (read: couch potato) to sit like this for long. Peanut does occassionally, but not that often either.
It seems Edwina keeps her "elbows" in and Ritzy sticks them out because Edwina actually looks quite slim in that picture, where Ritzy, OMG, Ritzy does look like a Thanksgiving turkey!!! :D :D
Tuxluvr, that photo is great! Ritzy doing the Sumo pose! Too funny!:D
Yewhew, welcome to pet talk, I love your Cookie too! You have to post more of her photos in Cat General where you can see all of the other cute tux cats and we can all admire Cookie too!:)
It's funny, because the name my family had for this pose also had an Asian reference - my dad had this stupid 45 record (oops, I just dated myself) of a jazz band playing a song called "Squatty Roo", kind of a Japanese-sounding song. So my sisters and I used to call this the "Squatty-Roo" when our kitties were in that position.

SQUATTY-ROO.....now THAT's funny....poor Ritzy, if she only knew how we were making fun of her.
As to her weight, she's about 13lbs, and according to vet, well and healthy and within normal kitty parameters. I'm guessing if you took a picture of me in a "squatty roo" position it wouldn't be too flattering either (which is why I avoid cameras whenever possible - after age 40, almost every picture looks kind of "squatty roo") :):rolleyes: :eek:
:D :D Amen to that! When they started the thread of "what do you look like", my first instinct was to say YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW! I still have to rummage around in some old shoebox somewhere and come up with a picture of me from way back, when I was still reasonably attractive:p ;) Good thing I already got my man:D :D because I'd have a hard time of it now!Quote:

This thread is too funny. :D Sunny sits like this quite often. Here's a picture of him.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/fd6b89e8.jpg
Here's another pic of Sunny. I think he looks funny in this pic.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...1/fd652334.jpg
When Nikki, my 3 1/2 month old Cornish Rex kitten sits like this he looks just like a gargoyle! He's almost hairless and skinny and with those big ears and his elbows looks like wings. I hope I can get a picture!
Sunny is soooooo handsome!
.......frequently mistaken for a meatloaf....;)
is the sofa arm position.......
front paws tucked under and the rear legs splayed, hanging over each side....
That is exactly what I was going to add.....when Rascal sits like this I call it his MEATLOAF positon.Quote:
