This thread is cracking me up -- I hadn't realized they looked like tortellini until I saw this. I just remember Sark's line that "cat's sleep circular" and always loved that one.

Mitzi is just too short and round to do a tortellini. She is more like a Russian pelmeny which aren't quite the perfect circle - sort of an attempt at a circle that doesn't quite meet in the middle.

Now Mishi -- he's a HUGE tortellini. His long thin body just curls right up and then he wraps his long fluffy tail around himself. I love it when they stick their noses in thier tails.
