Cat Fancy 2013

Milan in Cat Fancy 2013

Hello friends! Today my husband and I were surprised with the news that Milan will be featured in Cat Fancy's 2013 daily calendar!  

Sorry for the poor quality photo! I didn't want to risk breaking it when scanning since I want to keep it intact!

Before you ask, I DID send them photos of her asleep (its what she does best) however, they chose this one, which is quite adorable if you ask me.

The calendar should be available in stores in September and looks like it is already for sale on Amazon.  

If Milan had thumbs, i'm sure she'd autograph it for you.

Also, remember to Submit photos of your sleeping kitties to be featured on the blog!

Milan The Dancing Cat

Hello Friends!


It has been awhile and though I have no new sleeping cat photos to post for you (sad), we do have a new Milan video! 


Milan is awake in this one. and showing off her latest skill, Dancing!


Milan, as you have heard is a very good natured and easy going cat.  Do not fear! This does not upset her or distress her in away way.  Afterwards she continues to purr and meow at our feet and nuzzle and headbutt our faces.


We first started making Milan dance as a joke but noticed her fancy foot work.

Hope You Enjoy and as always, we welcome your photos of your own sleeping cats and kittens!

Special Thank you to Milan for putting up with our crazyness!

Milan the Lion

So it has been a while since my last post. Still waiting for submissions!  In the meantime we have been training Milan to walk on a leash.  She already has many dog-like qualities such as wagging her tail when she is happy, greeting us at the door when we come home and begging!

This video is Milan's second time outside. The first time we took her to a friends fenced in backyard and this time she is out in the fenced in courtyard at our apartment.  At first she is a little apprehensive and wants to hide under bushes but she will start to explore once she is a little more comfortable.  

So, she definitely is not sleeping in this blog post however, after a time outside she seems to fall asleep for quite a long time <3

Enjoy!

PS. If you have any questions about how we trained her to do this let me know! Also important to note is that before we take her outside we use Natures Defense flea, tick and mosquito repellant on her.  It is organic so we don't have to worry about when she grooms herself with it on and of course keeps her pest free!

Milan and her Cat Mat

Name: Milan


Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last post. Milan has been sleeping in the same old places in the same old positions so I was waiting for something new. Here is Milan asleep at the foot of our bed on her new Scrappy Kitty Rug! I received the Scrappy Kitty Rug through a swap on swap.com ! 


I sprinkled some cat nip on it, which unfortunately she doesn't care about! But she does like the rug. 

Please remember to submit your photos Here, and if you have a blog or other website/service let me know! Pin It

Special Thank You to Milan! Pin It

Kitty Mine

Name: Milan

Milan's first road trip went very well! She meowed the entire three and a half hours so it was a good thing that my husband and I love the sound of kitties.  She got to meet her kitty aunt (my parents cat Neptune) and quickly enacted a plan to take over the house.

Now that she is back home in her own domain, her latest dose of cuteness comes by doing "Kitty land mines."  This is where she drops to the ground outside a doorway or major path of travel in the house as we are walking in order to sabotage us into tripping over her.  Here is a picture of her in the act.

Special thank you to my kitty Milan! Pin It

After Thanksgiving Nap Time

Name: Milan

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know we sure did.  My hubby and I went to visit my parents house and brought Milan with us.  All the new sights and smells were exciting for her to explore and she even met a kitty friend (who she did not get along with!)  After all the excitement, when we all sat down to rest ourselves, Milan came to sit with us and fall asleep as well.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! If anyone has any pictures of their kitties sleeping with the family after a thanksgiving meal we would love to share them! Pin It

Milan Monday

Name: Milan 


Apparently Milan decided that we were watching too much TV this weekend.  As a result, she attempted to use her furry body to overheat the cable box.  Fortunately for her, it failed.  Also fortunate is how adorable she looks in the process of sabotage.

Kitty and Bunny Love

Name: Milan & Cinnabun

Even though Milan is peeking in this photo, I realized I rarely show her with her long-eared brother and sisters!  Here is Milan taking a nap and Cinnabun, who had to interrupt!  As you can tell, Milan is not pleased.  She clearly only had about 12 hours of sleep so far today.

Don't forget to send in YOUR sleeping cat photos (Submit) so you dont just have to see Milan every day.  Even though as her mom I can definitely say she is one adorable cat.

Post Move - Monday Milan

Name: Milan

We have finally moved into our new apartment and the computers are set up! That means Sleeping Kitties is BACK!  To kick off our return, I present you with Milan.  She is exhausted after a day of meowing at movers demanding petting, rubbing her scent over new surfaces and jumping into every box we tried to unpack!  Silly kitty!

Special thank you to Milan! For being so lovable. Pin It

Milan, In Stick Figure!

This weekend at New York Comic Con, I had the privilege of meeting the author of one of my favorite web comics,  The Oatmeal  (@Oatmeal).  I had him sign his book, 5 Very Good Reasons To Punch A Dolphin in the Mouth (sounds worse than it is).  He drew a picture of Milan sleeping inside the cover!

He does a lot of comics about cats too! I highly recommend checking out the site. Also, don't forget that I love posting sleeping cat photo's sent in by you so check out the submit page.
