Excuse me, I think my cat (@Menhit) is broken:

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cstross @Menhit This remembers of me once, telling I was so tired that I could have slept in that same position. And so I did.

@cstross @Menhit it's important to block the light with your paw!

@cstross @Menhit Cats came from other planet/galaxy by space ship.

They learned to stare on one point (watching navigation instruments), sleep in strange positions (without gravitation) and more.

Yes, that is what cats really are.

@cstross @Menhit

Cats are evolutions special little creatures.

[zigg@queer.garden]

@cstross @Menhit @LibertyForward1 no, no, I would absolutely not be surprised to find my own calico in that position.

Works as designed, ticket closed

@cstross @Menhit awwww

i tend to the opinion that cats are far better at getting comfortable than i am — so, who are we to question?

[beecycling@wandering.shop]

@cstross @Menhit Cats know that comfort comes from within, so any position can be comfortable, if they believe it is. 🪷

Sometimes you have to pick them up and move them in a figure 8 pattern to recalibrate their motion sensors.

@cstross @Menhit Sleepy in the front, ready to jump in the back. I know that from my sisters dog, just not that extreme.

[violenteastcoastcity@mastodon.social]

@cstross @Menhit Caught my dog in the same position after he'd worn himself out in the pool. His butt had actually slid down a bit before I managed to find my phone. I guess butt in the air is restorative?

[tastapod@mas.to]

@cstross @Menhit ah yes, this will happen if you have the assembly instructions upside down.

Start over but make sure you complete module B (the neck assembly) before attempting to connect modules A and C, otherwise it can get top-heavy.

Kitties be sleeping like absolute lunatics.

[sagesse@norden.social]

@cstross
Looks like it got hit by a sunbeam in midjump.
Felled by a nap attack.

Don't worry, it will reboot and come back.
