Afternoon Sleepiness?

This guy is 23 years old, he is deaf and always very tired.
He always tries to take a nap in the sun,and is dreaming the havens where there are so many mice to hunt!

Lesson from a cat...naps are good for you! Lovely photo . The color is more common in female cats, so that makes him more unique. Voted.

thats an amazing age for a cat & you have done him proud. I feel entire sympathy about wanting to dream lying in the sun, but of hunting landscapes rather than mice
