This is not an unusual pose for Sylvester. When he’s on our bed — and if he’s inside he’s pretty much on our bed — he does not like to be disturbed.
Another view. Still not disturbed.
If Mark keeps taking pictures, he will wake Sylvester up.
He was not happy*, and not quite awake.
* (Added by Mark) I cannot actually determine when a cat is happy. I don’t know the signs. Leah might be able to tell. I assume Sylvester is happy when he brings us a dead animal.
