Monkey also sleeps in some VERY weird positions in his crate. He almost never lies flat. Instead he squishes himself somewhere, partially upside down.

Cleo's crate is big enough that she can squish all the way back to the back and make me wonder where she is. She also has expressed a preference to have both a crate pad *and* a towel so that she can fluff the towel up as a pillow or drag it out of the crate to lie on in front of the kitchen door.
