Ruffy, one of our 2 rescue cats has the sometimes irritating habit of rolling over on his back with all 4 paws tucked up. But, also cute!

He's a beauty, John. This pose is particularly cute especially with those yellow eyes.

A beautiful and very peaceful image, John, I can feel his trust Many years ago we rescued a 10 year old calico, Chloe, who did the same thing. She had been declawed as a kitten (an abhorrent practice that should be banned) and we always thought that this habit was some sort of reaction to either "ghost pain" from her lost phalanxes, or simply fear from having gone through that ordeal.

A beautiful red cat with very unique eyes, John. A nice sharp, perfectly exposed capture of him also. I had a huge red cat like that once. He had unique paws with long opposable thumbs that he used to pick up and hold things just like we do. We named him grip because of that unique feature. He was a great cat and I've had a soft spot for red cats ever since

I have always loved cats with coats in the orange and rust families, and Ruffy's coat is just gorgeous, John! Love the tones and patterns and those beautiful eyes. Cute pose as well with the paws tucked in! He looks spoiled in this picture.
