I thought of dear Gizzy, who used to do the very same thing.
Turns out Marie lies like this too. Skittles suggested that we should call the pose the MontyQ.Next, when the cat in question lies on his back, showing, well, everything, like this:
it should be called the Full Monty. Here's a picture of Donny doing the Full Monty:
Yesterday MontyQ demonstrated the Full Monty himself. You can go look for yourself.So whaddya think, cats of the blogosphere? Have we got a New Standard Cat Term?
Hey, I do that pose ALL the time. I'm doing "The Monty" and didn't even know it.

ReplyDeleteYup, the Monty Q it is!
ReplyDeleteI also do the MontyQ on the cool grass when I go outside! I really like it!
ReplyDeleteI do the full Monty sometimes, but not as often.

Ha-ha we lay like Monty Q too, specially Lucy. The full Monty is Bouncey's faffrite way to sleep unless Trixie is lurking around.
ReplyDeleteI *don't* do the MontyQ, but I present the Full Monty to my family when I'm feeling particularly safe and secure. I approve these terms.
ReplyDeleteThe Full Monty is definitely the appropriate name for that position! As for the Monty Q, I am amazed that other cats can lie like that - wow!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Full Monty...ahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Millie.
We likes that. The full Monty!!
ReplyDeleteAbby

I haven't tried the MontyQ, but I do like to lay in the Full Monty position.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, Speedy does da MontyQ and Sadie will okashonally do da FullMonty and we both run when mom gets about 2 Gizzys from us.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha.....mol....full monty....
ReplyDeleteGuy never sleeps without one good "Full Monty" pose.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, we should call it the Full Monty. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm honoured that you used me to demonstrate today's Full Monty. Thanks!
~Donny
I love both terms. I think that we do have new standard cat terms.
ReplyDeleteWE has not mastered da MontyQ, but we can do the full monty real good!
ReplyDeleteGood term, but we have to be careful between the Monty and the Monte. One will give the lady's a thrill.
ReplyDeleteI think that both are awesome New Standards! Great idea Millie.
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect! I think Mommy got some pictures of the furballs demonstrating the poses and will add those. Also, thanks for letting us know about Poppy Q.
ReplyDeletegreat new terms! we've got our own dictionary--cationary!
