Two out of three napping...

AH, THE FELINE TABLEAU: We have this pal, A.J. Hewett, who writes a syndicated column called Weird, Bizarre and Unusual.
And, no, these cats are not named Weird, Bizarre and Unusual. Nor is the column named for Mr. Hewett though, certainly, some days, any of those names would fit. 
We’re spotlighting the Hewett cats in our weekend edition of “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap.”
The sometimes wordy Mr. Hewett sent us this photo and a one-line caption: “Jewels, Mittens and Allie on our bed.”
The “our” folks in the story are Mr. Hewett and the spouse he always refers to as “Sweet Jenny.” The rest of us refer to her as “Bless-Her-Heart-That-Woman-Is-A-Saint Jenny.” 
She puts keen editing touches on his syndicated column which deals with all sorts of things, from historical tidbits (the first marketed toothbrush was made from animal hair) and odd crimes (the recent theft of $2,000 worth of scanty garb from a specialty store in Dallas) to such things as stupid human behavior (a drunk shows up to  bail another drunk out of jail).  You know, the amazingly amusing tidbits of life.
And, yes, you may previously have read about Mr. Hewett, Sweet Jenny and Mittens, the wide-awake tuxedo cat. In early February, Mittens snuck out through an open door and was gone for a few days, sending the couple into a tizzy for a while. The return of Mittens was a celebrated event.
So, this photo is a bit of a follow-up on that escapade and, as you can see, Jewels and Allie apparently have taken on the task of “Sandwich Guarding” the cat with the tendency to roam.
[To nominate your sleeping dogs, napping cats, passed-out in-law or any slumbering critter for the spotlight of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap, send photo and info to [email protected]. This feature is part of our mission to help insomniacs conquer their disability -- we’ve tried reading my prose to them and it just doesn’t do the trick every time. So, once again, if you’re up at 2 in the morning reading this, for crying out loud eat two big cookies, drink a glass of warm milk and either nod off or watch an old black-and-white movie. My sleep-talentedspouse Martha says there’s slumber comfort in “any of the Thin Man movies.” Worth a shot. What have you got to lose? Sleep?]
