Came in from cutting the grass Sunday to find our two male cats — Deuce, 7, and Moses, 16 — sound asleep. That is not unusual, of course; being cats, they’re not above dozing, well, 23 hours a day.

What was different, though, was that they were practically cuddling with each other on the couch. I mean, they’ve always gotten along well enough, but they’ve never slept that close to one another. Here’s a pic (Deuce is on the left):

As a regular readers know, I write about my pets all the time (and if you are a regular reader, then you probably don’t mind that, or you wouldn’t keep coming back).

And the two snoozing felines, aside from warming my heart, inspired this week’s list — the Top 7 felines (who don’t live at my house, of course):

1. The Esso (and later Exxon) Tiger.

2. Morris the Cat (of Nine Lives cat food fame).

3. Kitty, the Addams Family's pet lion.

4. The MGM lion.

5. Sassy, from "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey."

6. Tony the Tiger, pitchman (pitchcat?) for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes.

7. Felix the Cat.

Honorable mention (too X-rated for inclusion in the main list on what purports to be a family-friendly blog):

Fritz the Cat.
