One of Didi’s most distinctive traits was how much he slept. Public records from his time in Anyang noted that he often slept for more than ten hours a day and, if no one woke him, could sleep well into the afternoon. Lying on his back with all four paws in the air, sometimes resting one foot on his cradle bed, was another familiar sleeping pose.
