Anyone else have a pet that sleeps in a funny way?

Picture attached of Conkers our Basset Hound who likes to sleep on his back

This is not my dog but I saw this post few days ago and remembered when I saw a thread. It is so hilarious how this little dog sleeps like the dead . IM trying to figure out how to post a picture so I put the link

Dogs seem to really like sleeping like dead spiders!

Cheddar likes to sleep on her back and Mithril is apparently comfortable like this!

The dog in that link is so cute, and the text of the article is hilarious! Sounds like it's gone through Google Translate:

"Everybody enjoys young puppies, whether they are playing, posturing for pictures or perhaps simply resting. Shih Tzu pup, Paningning, is just one of the current charming dogs to swipe the heart of the net, except teddy bear face – but also for her amusing resting placements."

Teddy bear face!

I've posted a pic on the litter tray, mine sleeps on the radiator when it's cold.

Dead spider dogs Grin

Here's my own dog in that position, and my cat who favours the Garfield pose. It's probably the most charming thing I've ever seen.

My dachshund does the back with head twisted round pose - it's not so spidery with short-legged dogs though.

He also sometimes sleeps on his side, very straight with his legs at right angles. He's capable of going a long time between breaths when sleeping so he really does look dead in that position.

That puppy is adorable. I think you're right about the text having been through a translator: 'Paningning is the youngest of trash birthed to Cua’s canine Baobei.'

Er, I think they meant 'litter'!ShockGrin

My Jack Russell uses her nose to wrap herself up completely in her fleece. You can't tell she's there.

More cats please!

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/11/2019 11:47

CalmDown - how many kittens were there and does she normally wear a bra? :)

CalmDownConan · 14/11/2019 12:03

She doesn't need a bra just yet but was most happy not to be moved Grin

Ironically hates having her belly rubbed, but it's so soft

Ilovethekitties · 14/11/2019 12:08

@CalmDownConan omg that kitty is so so so precious Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 14/11/2019 12:09

Mine can cocoon himself beautifully in a duvet.

His best ever was when he got into my bed - which has tucked in sheets and blanket, went right down to the bottom and rolled off the end. So he was in a sort of totally enclosed hammock when (after some searching) I found him. He wasn't at all fazed by the experience, he just plopped out when I untucked him and gave himself a shake. I've no idea what he was doing for air - massive lungs for their size on a dachshund I suppose, and completely immobilised.

Ilovethekitties · 14/11/2019 12:11

My kitty is basically a massive child and like to sleep on my chest. I'm in maternity leave at the moment so I get about six hours of cuddles a day. We adopted her from a shelter when she was five and found out she was severely neglected and left in a room for all those years on her own and in filth. We think that's why she loves contact now and is a bit needy, lol. She isn't an indoor cat but prefer to be inside.

Thanks Ilovethekitties cats give so much comfort and with their funny ways too!

Enko · 14/11/2019 12:28

@CaptainMyCaptain that picture is just adorable you really have to look hard to see the dog shape

@Toddlerteaplease are you completely sure that Cheddar isn't actually a novelty hot water bottle? And Mithril is an excellent cat name.

Toddlerteaplease · 14/11/2019 14:10

@UselessTrees hmm no I'm not quite sure, now you mention it! Mithril is my parents cat. He should have been called Gandalf, everyone thinks Mithril is a daft name!

@SpamChaudFroid we've missed Little M from the litter tray!

GrandmaSharksDentures · 14/11/2019 14:13

Xanthie likes to sleep on her back with her back legs spread out

My friend's cat slept like this the other day. She shared it on Facebook.
