@Kamaji I have a long-haired female "Sylvester" cat that sleeps like that. I always jokingly referred to her as my "guard cat".
The first time the rescue squad came to the house to take me to the hospital,she jumped between me and the ER guys and snarled at them. She seemed to think they were threatening me and was trying to defend me. I picked her up,petted her,and put her down behind me,and she was fine after that.
I don't know who was more surprised,me or the Rescue Squad people.
