My 18 month old male likes to take a flying leap and land directly on my stomach when I'm asleep. I have both upper and lower back injuries so I can only sleep on my back.

This morning he pounced on me so hard at 3:30 am that it knocked the breath out of me. He is a very big cat. I was not able to get back to sleep so today is proving to be a looooong work day.
