A wise cat once said, “Meow.” Okay, just joking. A wiser cat once awoke from a nap and said, “You gotta adapt.” I don’t know what it means, but it sounds smart. It’s kinda like, “If you snooze, you lose,” only without the rhyme.
Anyway, I quickly discovered that the top of a computer monitor is a great place to take a nap. Those things give off the heat! I have enjoyed many a dream-filled repose since I discovered the top side of the Dell M991.
In fact, I have become a bit of a monitor connoisseur. Rule #1 — stay away from flat panels; you can get hurt. Permanent wedgy, I tell you. Rule #2 — get a grip. I tend to move a lot in my sleep; on a 8-inch-wide perch with a 10-degree downslope, I find myself on the floor or wedged between the wall and the credenza quite often.
Rule #3 — don’t overdo it. With triple-digit temps and after hours of snuggly goodness, I occasionally find my nethery regions singed and in need of a soothing salve. Too much of a good thing is… well, good; but you know what I mean. Employ some “monitor moderation;” at least, until you build up your tolerance.
Time for a nap.
Hi Spixie from Alabama! A long way off indead. I am currently sitting in the human’s lap that you refer to as the “skinny cousin”. As you mentioned, a flat screen computer is most certaintly difficult to take a nap on. However, I have found that it makes an excellent step to hold onto as you play with the hanging strings attached to the things on their windows as they call “blinds”. Although I will admitt to getting in trouble quite often because of it. Call me crazy but a girl needs her play time! Lots of meow love!
As I am affectionetly refered to:

P.S. I’m the cutest!!!!!!!!!!!
