Little pups and kittens, and children too I suppose, just can’t stand the notion of going to sleep. There’s too much to see and do.
It’s not unusual to find evidence they’ve fought sleep ’till the bitter end. Like this little kitty.
Play, play, play…play some more, one eye open, yawn, yawn some more, both eyes closed, one eye open…the yarn is so soft.
Hmmmmmm….both eyes closed.
It happens to me too. I fall asleep on the floor occasionally, beside my dog Rosie, after I’ve thrown The Rat, or Mr. Sheepy, or The Singing Cow for her to chase. She sleepily retrieves it one last time, lays on the carpet and looks at me. I lay down too and pat her ‘ol head and rub her thick, soft coat.
Next thing I know (or more accurately, don’t know) we’re both sound asleep on the floor — the toy just beside us.
It’s some of the best sleep I’ve had that kind of sleep.

That’s definitely some of the best kind of drift-off-to-sleep sleep. And who does this kitten belong to????
Hi Karen,
Thanks for the comment.
A photo I found on Flicker was the reference. I changed it a bit though. I just wanted to paint it because it was so indicative of how go-go-go they are. They go ’till they run out of steam
Some people are like that. I have been at times myself. Though not over a ball of yarn
THis made me smile. Sometimes I feel the same way.
Hi Lindsay,
That’s what it’s all about.
Thanks for commenting!
I’m glad you got a smile out of it
