Or at the very least, have a look at these cat naps. Literal cat naps, that is. As I browsed through the Pets photos one day, I noticed an awful lot of cats having naps!

And don't forget to post photos of your cat napping, or your dog napping for that matter. In fact, I'd love to see them doing just about anything, so take lots of pics of what they get up to when they're awake, too. Who knows. One of your photos may be featured in a future collection I put together. Cynthia Community Editor

Here are just a few examples:We have Winston, who performs tricks for treats from artisttobeMakayla's dog, Hailey, runs an obstacle courseAnd Max the parrot rescues a teddy from a "burning" buildingSubmit videos of your pet doing fun—or even stupid—tricks.
