How does Ripley fit?

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?

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 :)

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

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.

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

What a great back yard you have!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.:)

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
