idk if it's apparent from this but she just moved to be even slightly more smooshed

this is also a cat who makes me basically lie on top of her in the morning lmao

I dunno what it is but I imagine it's to reduce the amount of sensory feedback they get while sleeping. They're in a safe place so they don't have to be on high alert while resting.

that makes sense but is also very funny

yes Penelope you would be in grave danger if I left you to sleep on the couch alone

like I did two entire hours ago

"UGH protect me while I dream of chasing bugs"

squish

I've heard they like boxes because it makes them feel secure, as if they're in a burrow

predator but also small enough to be prey: needs secure cozy spot to sleep peacefully

(sora will insist on sleeping under the covers with me if he feels bad. with my arm around him. security is a whole ass human to fight off any predators)

awwwww, what perfect babies with their security humans for smoosh
