Naps with snakes might get a bit awkward, as well as hedgehogs. Somebody'd end up irritated. I have napped with puppies though! And yeah, there's nothing quite like it, all warm and fuzzy.
That's rather impressive, actually! I imagine it was sort of like a heating lamp for it.. or something. Ack! Yeah, that would be an issue.
It was like your own cat heating blanket!
Being a little bit more of a dog person, I'm reduced to goo at the sight of teeny ones. Oh puppy piles are so amusing, especially when they crawl all over each other.
See, and the sad thing is that most of us intelligent and responsible pet owners will never have an adorable puppy pile or box o' kittens at home to play with because we own a reasonable number of pets at a time and then get them fixed (the really good people only adopt older or special needs animals, but they're better people than I), while inbred morons who let their animals run off all day and never pay to get them fixed have litter after litter of adorable baby critters. It's the same painful irony about idiots outbreeding the smart people.
Oh well, at least we can foster kittens (one day...) and donate our eggs if we're that nuts about getting our DNA out there.
Or you can be totally sneaky and go with your landlady to the farm where her pony lives, and where the farm cat's kittens are OMG ADORABLE.
And what do you know, farmers, they totally have a network -- so then another farm will end up with a litter, and another... and all together it's not that many, given numbers relative to geo.space.
My grandfather was a farmer. He was, in general, a good man. But he had a very different attitude towards animals than I do (possibly arising from the fact that he made his living off of them, and had no qualms about killing them to do so). So he never got his one cat (Blackie) fixed. She had litter after litter of kittens. Usually he drowned them in the rain barrel after the grandkids went home.
The farmers that I've known can't be bothered to place their kittens with other farmers who already have more cats than they want.
Ah, it seems that the situation here is different. By the time I saw them -- they were 4-ish weeks old -- all but one (and possibly that one too) had already been spoken for by non-farmer people. I didn't get the impression that cats over there have litter after litter, although I didn't dig, either; and certainly nobody there acts as though they drown baby animals. The people I saw were pretty lovey-doting on them, in a way that gave me the impression of a kitty litter being a reasonably big deal around there.
When I was a kid, friends of the family bred prizewinning purebred collies (not as in backyard breeder, as in one of his took best in her category at either AKC or Westminster, don't recall). I used to LOVE going over to see the puppies

I've heard that naps with kitties are one of the best things ever. So much AWWW.

Naps with furry creatures are truly one of the best things ever. Naps with a snake are just as good, but harder to arrange to everyone's satisfaction.

I think the time when I was a kid and I had six cats on my bed at once, though, was my personal best.
Puppy piles are so cute. The tiny ones make that little puppy grunting sound, and they have that puppy smell.
