When my human and I are out of town, we sleep together, but at home, I often leave the bed to Binga and Boodie. Usually I sleep on the top tier of the cat tree in the corner, but I found a new spot the other day! My human is still mystified about how I got up there without waking her up. The only way to reach it is by leaping up from the bed. Incidentally that lump in front of Boodie in the mirror is my human.
If you are one of the early, early readers of this blog, you may recall when my human brought home this plush red iguana. It was 13 years ago — July, 2003 — and Sparkle was not impressed (yes, that is her in the photo, not me!).
As you can tell I was a little surprised to be caught up there — I expected to be told to get down.
It seems like I drew a crowd! But I think they were more interested in breakfast than what my human thought of me sleeping on the plush red iguana on top of the dresser.

Cute! My Wendy likes to get up as high as she can!
What a fun flashback Summer. That jump was impressive
Love how regal you look up there, like a ruler surveying their domain.
Wow! There are a LOT of Boodie-sightings in this post. You look good up there with the lizard, Summer.
We are not surprised. There is no acrocat like a cat!

You certainly are in the catbird seat! MOL!
Never tell her how you got there, Summer!
Great job on your new spot. High is always good!
Wow! You are amazing. What an awesome jump to new heights. Great job. We think the big red iguana might scare some kitties around here, MOL. Love the mirror shots. Pretty cool. Purrs
Great spot for a nap ! That iguana looks like a comfy bed. Purrs
What a great snoozy spot. That was some awesome, stealthy jumping, Summer! 🙂
Good job. Always leave the human wondering how you did it.
We think you are very light on your feet, Summer…and have a gentle jump. That’s why your human didn’t know that you got up there.
What a fun place for a snooze. No wonder you drew a crowd!!!

That iguana looks like he makes a pretty cozy bed! (And your human isn’t alone, I have a bit of a stuffie problem myself!)
I think that spot was just waiting for you, Summer.
I’d LOVE a Summer Plush!!
Pretty pictures!! In the first picture, you look like a queen, and very regal!
WTG Summer…look at you way up on your throne!!
Hugs madi your bfff
PS mom loves the re iguana
Everyone needs an adventure now and then. The iguana looks very comfy.
I see no reason for you not to be on top of the dresser – doesn’t look like there is anything dangerous up there or anything you could break – Humans! so unreasonable.
Summer, now if it was some of the kitties here, we can go straight up walls that are very tall. Bet you just ran right up the front or the side. That does look like such a good place to sleep.
OH Summer…that lizard would not enjoy a warm welcome here with me cause I’d rather eat them, and I get chances when they slither on in under the front storm door. Not iguanas tho. Heeeee.
so cute and what a great vantage point! I think you got up there from the ledge on the side
You look very comfortable up there Summer!
It looks to me like you have the best spot in the bedroom. Good for you Summer.
Hey – Simon and I do to our mom exactly what Binga and Bodie are doing to your mom!!! Every morning she tries to sleep in we won’t let her. We must be fed!!!
Of course you deserve your own throne (red iguana), Summer. Now Boodie, Binga and your human can worship you from below as they should 🙂 You should tel your human it doesn’t matter how you got there … you’re there and that’s all anyone needs to know 🙂 Love the pictures of Binga and Boodie waiting for breakfast 🙂
Does Senor Iggy have a zipper up his back? What’s in there, Summer? Also, your Human does not exactly seem the cute plushie animal type. We want to hear more of this iguana story.
She likes plush critters ironically, which is why she has so many of them, and why there’s usually something a little off about them.
We think it’s great that you found a brand new napping spot, Summer. Plus, you have a — pardon the expression — bird’s eye view of everything!
Summer, that appears to us to be a most excellent place to sleep. We are pretty sure at least one of us would spend the night there given the opportunity. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
We all know you are a very agile cat Summer. Now we know you are also a catlete.
/\/\ Pretty Cat!!
I wish I had been reading back when the red iguana first appeared.That is funny that Sparkle hated it and you are sleeping on it 🙂 I love the Binga photo bomb. I think Feedly is not showing my posts, I wish I knew how to fix it.
That’s a pretty impressive leap pretty Summer and I’m sure that red iguana was glad to finally have some company!
We had never heard of the red iguana Summer.
You ‘re a cat ,naturally you know how yo get up there 😉
Looks comfy.
Usually when the humans open their eyes it’s a sign for breakfast !

Awesome pictures! That’s a beautiful giant cat bed there with such a soft red iguana for a throne. I would consider sleeping there myself.
Summer maybe you know how to fly but don’t want your human to know……?? The red iguana bed (!) you found on top of the dresser seems like a great spot to have a snoozer though!
Hugs, Sammy
Wow talk about boldly going……
Those are some unique photos too. We don’t think we’ve seen anything quite like them before. Talk about purrrfect mirror timing!
We wont tell either, but we can guess well enough.
That looks like a very cool place to sleep, Summer. We did not know the story of the red iguana, so thanks for sharing that with us!
Purrs,
