Sleeping on a Caturday

Cats sleep.  A lot.  We cat nap, but we also sleep deep.  Some of you talked to me last week by commenting on my Caturday post.  It's funny that you talked more when I said very little.  Here's the conversation we had:
Bookfool:  "Awww! So pretty!"
Kiki:  "I know, I know! I'm a beautiful cat. So nice of you to say so. Kiki"
Beth:  "Awww, Kiki...you don't need beauty rest. You are already gorgeous!"
Bonnie:  "Kiki would probably say she's gorgeous BECAUSE she sleeps a lot."
Kiki:  "Bonnie! What do you mean, I sleep a lot? I never sleep more than a cat's usual 16 hours a day. Thank you, Beth. I like the sound of gorgeous. I'm a gorgeous girl. Bonnie, why don't you start saying "gorgeous girl" instead of "good girl" when I do something that pleases you? Kiki Cat, the Gorgeous Girl, signing off (purrrrrrrr)"
And then Bonnie sneaked back and said,
"Well, I see Kiki's been here when I wasn't looking. It must have been a hit-and-run posting of her comment because she is currently asleep on my bed with her nose between her paws. Yes, Gorgeous Girl, you sleep a lot, compared to humans. But I love you, just the same. You know that. By the way, Gorgeous Girl, thank you for letting me sleep mornings until I wake up. Thank you for cuddling up next to me and waiting, rather than scratching or meowing to get breakfast sooner (like 4:00 in the morning). You're a good girl. I mean, you're a gorgeous girl."
It didn't take much to get HER trained, did it?

P.S.  Here are two more pictures of sleeping cats.  Yes, yes, we cats do know how to nap.
