Aside from having three cats in a single frame, there are a few things odd about this picture.
It’s daytime and Mollie (tortie on left) is downstairs. She is an upstairs cat. She only graces us with her presence in the evening for an hour or two. (She has a few favorite TV programs.) She is not lying in the sun. Odd for Mollie who is a heat seeking missile.
Not much odd about Sasha (cat on chair). She is in her backward “c” curve sleeping position and partially in the sun. It’s somewhat odd that there are two “playmates” nearby and she prefers to sleep.
Gracie (gray cat on right floor) does not sleep on the carpet. She’s a soft, cushy chair cat. Maybe it’s the sunspot which is big enough for most of her body.
Morgan is no where in sight. She is most likely on the top of the cat tree upstairs enjoying a cat-free environment.
Wishing you all a great weekend filled with naps in sunspots!
It’s interesting how cats are such creatures of habit. Based on the time of day, I can pretty well predict where I can expect to find Theo. It’s beyond me how he knows when it’s after noon and time to move from under the dining room table to his favourite chair in the living room.
Happy Sunday, Kate. Hope it’s a good one for you!

Sasha would do it and tries to but she is rebuffed. She was in a rescue in a room with a lot of cats from small kitten on. They probably found warmth and safety in that.
LikeLiked by 1 person
You are probably right about that. Oh, poor dear. She is probably craving it. There are so many give-and-take situations when we bring rescues into our homes. Like Sloopy Anne, her best case scenario would have been the only cat in a household that adored her. But after two stinken years in the shelter, it became clear she was better with a bunch of other cats in a loving home than in a shelter.

The good news is that Gracie will play with her. Morgan a little. Mollie gives her a bat on the head about playing but will clean her face (which she loves) so it’s ok.

My lap is a funny thing. Morgan only sits there in the office. The other three will sit there in the family room but not the office and only if none of the other cats are around. Once in a while Gracie will sleep by my legs on the recliner and Mollie is in my lap but it’s rare. They complain about personal space (like they give me any!).

Yes, our weather is pretty close. We literally haven’t even seen a peek of sun in 10 days. The forecast says one more cloudy day (11 in all) and then sunshine on Sunday. Of course, it’s only supposed to last that one day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. It actually fits my mood these days. Plus, so far our winter hasn’t been too rough. 🤞

Sun spots are prime real estate. We have a lot of windows all the way around so as long as there is sun, there is somewhere for them to nap. If there isn’t there are cat beds that are like igloos. Mollie especially likes those.
