Beau is a creative napper. Most cats sleep on their stomachs, either straight or curled up. Beau has learned to sleep propped up on his back, rather like a tiny human in a hammock. In this case he’s in his favorite sleeping spot, my recliner in the TV room.

Of course Beau has many sleeping positions, such as this simple upright side position. Beau is, if anything, a highly inventive cat in the arts of napping.
