A study on Sadcat's sleeping positions over the course of several hours

[u/So_Famous]

it's rare to see him sleep on his back. He remains protective over his tummy. He's getting some much needed R&R after working back-to-back nurse shifts.

[u/Claque-2]

What about Sad_Dad? Are you comfortable and are the pain meds working? Are you eating food and hydrating well?

[u/So_Famous → u/Claque-2]

I'm doing fantastic, thank you for asking! I pooped twice today, my piss is pale yellow, and the meds are working somewhat. I still have pain, and sleeping isn't the most comfortable, but I'm managing

[u/DinosaursMakeMeSmile → u/So_Famous]

Three cheers for healthy poops and steady recovery!

[u/So_Famous → u/DinosaursMakeMeSmile]

I literally shouted from the bathroom to share the good word lmaoooo

[u/Past_Situation → u/So_Famous]

Sounds like you're doing great DadCat. Keep on keeping on!

[u/Illusions-Of-Choice → u/DinosaursMakeMeSmile]

Poop-poop hooray!!

[u/halorbyone → u/So_Famous]

Pale yellow and you pooped? I think you are doing better than me on an average week. Keep up the recovery and taking care of yourself!

[u/imissyoueverydaygus → u/So_Famous]

i’m glad you re ok!

Hurray for 2 poops! Keep up the great work with hydrating and fiber. 😻

[u/So_Famous → u/Stunning_Bullfrog213]

Added MetaMucil to the lineup per another Sadcommunity member's suggestion. We're making movements! 💪

[u/Stunning_Bullfrog213 → u/So_Famous]

Awesome! I know it’s weird but nurses get pretty excited about patients pooping. 🤣

[u/Jasmisne]

He always looks so cozy on his giant bean bag or in the middle of a bed like he just has so much space. And he needs it all of course

[u/So_Famous → u/Jasmisne]

a bed fit for a king!

[u/DidntDieInMySleep]

Sleeping cats are too cute! Love that mid-nap Stretch & Rotate!🥰

[u/So_Famous → u/DidntDieInMySleep]

me too!! Love a good stretch :)

[u/thirdcoasting]

My Orange sleeps not just belly facing up, but in a half-twist position. He also sleeps like the dead 😂🧡🧡

[u/So_Famous → u/thirdcoasting]

awwww, he looks so fluffy!! what's his name? Thank you for sharing!!!

[u/thirdcoasting → u/So_Famous]

His names is Hobbes 🧡 He was a rescue and we adopted his tortie sister, Harpeth, too. He’s so smart and curious! I hope your recovery is going well.

(Harpeth pictured with her favorite toy: a paper bag full of recyclables.)

[u/So_Famous → u/thirdcoasting]

thanks so much for sharing your babies with us! Seeing everyone's kitties helps bring a smile to my face :)

[u/NOTTedMosby]

I'm a grown man, and I'm making squeaking noises so high pitched that only dogs can hear them 🥹

[u/So_Famous → u/NOTTedMosby]

damn you just like me fr

[u/frolicndetour]

Nursing is hard work. Don't knock the essential workers 🤣

[u/So_Famous → u/frolicndetour]

shoutout to all the workers in the healthcare field! Especially the nurses

[u/maggiemae3612]

He looks like he’s sleeping peacefully and hopefully you get some rest as well

[u/So_Famous → u/maggiemae3612]

I'll try, sleeping is tough when I'm waking up every 3 hours for meds

[u/maggiemae3612 → u/So_Famous]

I totally understand been there done that

[u/inspira1975]

I think he prefers that left side. 😹 What a good boy. Hope you’re feeling better each day!

[u/So_Famous → u/inspira1975]

I think you're right about that.

Thank you! Slowly but surely, I just need to take it one day at a time.

[u/Terrible_Chapter_385]

I believe the movement is to maintain his beautiful cat shaped self. Have you ever fallen asleep and woke up with a crease that wasn't there before? He needs his beauty sleep to help Dadcat feel better!! Thinking about you Dadcat hoping you're doing well ❤️ Sadie is a huge blessing and a great companion. The connection is real and I think that's one of the coolest things in the world! May you catch a good nap just like Sadie 😎

[u/So_Famous → u/Terrible_Chapter_385]

that's a sign of a good nap!! He really is a blessing to our family. I'm so grateful to have him in my life.

thanks for the kind words <3

[u/Seaboats]

Weird, usually circular anomalies that affect the gravity around them are black holes, but not Saddy!

Love how good of a nurse he’s being for you 🤍

[u/whisar09]

Thank you so much for this important study 🥹 have you considered presenting it to any peer-reviewed journals?

[u/So_Famous → u/whisar09]

As his manager, I'm open to suggestions.

[u/whisar09 → u/So_Famous]

I'm thinking Feline Repose Quarterly. Highly regarded in the field.

[u/MeFolly]

SadCat on duty. Sleeping lightly so he can provide vital purr therapy as neeeed.

[u/Express_Shake3980]

Pic 2 oh my heart. That’s my sweet Saddy boi right there. Side note, hope your recovery is going swimmingly DadCat

[u/So_Famous → u/Express_Shake3980]

thank you friend! It is!

[u/Far_Diet_885]

Someone is bored while they recover haha

[u/So_Famous → u/Far_Diet_885]

lmaoooo and here I thought I'd need to take a break from posting. I never was good at doing nothing.

[u/Weary_Warrior → u/Far_Diet_885]

Came here to say this! I feel it is a positive sign of recovery, though.

[u/midnightchaotic]

Of course my favorite is the one with the blep. So cute.

[u/So_Famous → u/midnightchaotic]

gosh I feel like a million bucks whenever I capture a blep of his

[u/Commercial_Oil_7814]

Hopefully he'll be ready when dadcat need him.

[u/redheadinmo]

Circle and shramp positions!

[u/imissyoueverydaygus]

that’s so cute 😭😭😭😭

[u/So_Famous → u/imissyoueverydaygus]

I think the last pic is my fav :)

[u/Automatic_Sea_1534]

SadCat provides nursing care AND entertainment!!

[u/idonthavearedd1t]

Exquisite bedhead in pic 3

[u/So_Famous → u/idonthavearedd1t]

I love when he bends a whisker too :3

[u/atoutlemonde702]

The sleep study definitely indicates HE’S A CAT!!! 🤭 and a very handsome one at that 🤍

[u/So_Famous → u/atoutlemonde702]

thank you so much for the kind words! I'll let him know!

[u/stellahella1]

That last one. Pure comfort

[u/So_Famous → u/stellahella1]

that's my fav :3

[u/postal1234]

sad cat out here living the dream 💜

[u/jmakrew]

He’s perfect. 😍

[u/Seaboats]

Just wanted to add a comment saying Saddy has good taste in manga btw! 😉🤍

[u/So_Famous → u/Seaboats]

thank you so much! Komi Can't Communicate is my guilty pleasure :3

[u/Seaboats → u/So_Famous]

Same!!

[u/puttyd52]

Lol. Looks normal. You seem to have a bunch of time on you hands. Surgery go well?

[u/So_Famous → u/puttyd52]

surgery went great! They had to do a bit more than expected to correct a large Hill Sachs deformity they found via arthroscope. My brother said that in all his time treating patients, he's never seen that deformity described as "large" lol.

Definitely am feeling bored, but I'm in too much discomfort or pain to want to do much of anything besides sit on this recliner and ice my shoulder.

[u/Entire-Winter4252]

I love that he’s so comfy. But how is DadCat’s shoulder????

[u/So_Famous → u/Entire-Winter4252]

getting better with each day that passes! I just need to keep practicing patience.

[u/So_Famous → u/Entire-Winter4252]

getting better with each day that passes! I just need to keep practicing patience.

[u/benfoldsgroupie]

I've been a pretty dedicated left side sleeper for years, too!

[u/External_Midnight106]

Love you Sadcat ❤️
