Paxil is fond of stretching out.
He is, alas, particularly fond of sinking his claws into the back of a chair and stretching out by hurling his weight backwards and trying to disembowel and/or filet the chair in the process.
But he is also fond of seeing how much of one sofa he can occupy without assistance. His personal best (not, unfortunately, photographed) is a half of a three-cushion sofa--an achievement that required significant hind leg and tail extension, accompanied by a foreleg lick-and-stretch move that had to be seen to be appreciated.
The nearest approximation I have is the image, which claims only a third of the sofa--but clearly does so without great effort.
The complement to the relaxation of space and openness is, of course, the comfort and security of containment. But that's more Shiva's forte and will be dealt with in a separate entry.
