Here are examples of Meez Poses.... I was reading a thread before that said nobody knew about Meez posing and so, I made this one ;D

PUMA GIRL'S MEEZ POSE GUIDE:
- - - - - - - Stretch Pose - - - - - - -
Here are the important points of this pose:
1. Front leg alignment. This is the most important and difficult aspect of the stretch pose! Even if you get the legs aligned, most often you can see the outline of the other foot (like Dogz). You should try to eliminate this as well as extra leg showing from the one behind.
2. Eyes. Only one eye should be showing (or as close as possible) This is probably the equivalent to the eyelid equalness in a Standard Pose. It's tough to have both this as well as the front leg alignment, and the more horizontal the cat is, the more likely you'll see only one eye.
3. Back feet and tail. These should be as straight as possible. This isn't very hard and shouldn't be rated as highly as the other two aspects of the pose. The legs should be very stretched, so should the tail.
- - - - - - - Sitting Pose - - - - - - -
Here are the important points of this pose:
1. One eye showing. Again, this can be difficult and the cat has to be completely horizontal. Even in the best cases you may still have an outline of the other eyeball.
2. Horizontal. The cat should be straight and at a perfect angle to the camera. If his face or bum is pointed towards the camera, you need to move him around and point him to the left or right.
3. Tail. The tail is a matter of opinion, and could either be judged by how nice the curve is or how straight it is. Sorta like Standard poses, some judges prefer a curve while others want a straight tail.
4. Crossed feet. Not too important since your Meezer should do this automatically. It just shows the cat was not in the middle of sitting down or standing up.

1. Love Potion
The first method, the most commonly used, is the Love Potion. Spray your Meezers to make them spin around, and then pose. The trick is to make sure your Meezer lands in a horizontal position, to line up its feet. The only problem with the Love Potion is that your Meezer will get "scared" eyelids. This can be considered a fault by judges, although not always, if the eyelids are perfectly even.
2. Out of the Door Method
The second method to make your Meezers pose in Standard position is the Out of the Door Method (for lack of a better name!) When you take out any Catz, they will follow The Hand (also known as the cursor) until they reach it in order to greet you. Sometimes when Catz reach the hand, they will do a spontaneous show pose, with perfect even eyelids. The trick is to make sure that when your Meezer reaches the Hand, it is horizontal enough to create the perfect show pose. Here's a short guide:
1. Take out your Meezer and "lead" it around with the Hand. You will have to be quick, and lead him/her in the correct direction. This may take practice. (Sometimes they will walk calmy out the door, this is great for catching poses. If they sprint out and go way past the Hand, just try again.)
2. Don't let your Meezer reach the hand until he/she is horizontal! All good Standard poses are horizontal. You don't want your Meezer to face the wrong way.
3. Be prepared to whack the space bar should your kitty pose!
The problem is, they won't pose every time. You need to keep leading them with the Hand until they decide out of their own will to pose. Once they do, you'll have a perfect opportunity to snap a show photo!
Example:
Nazarius (left) and Lars (right) in Standard pose after following the Hand. A Meezer will almost always have extra pixels at the front (Nazarius) or back (Lars) of the leg. (Update: See below! This only applies to meezer-legged Catz with age set to 100, apparently!)

It IS possible to get a meezer to pose with the front legs without extra pixels; Coffee and Cream have both done it for me. (They're very helpful. XD)
Pics:
Eshal has figured out how to get meezers to become pixel-less posers: set their age to slightly less than 100 to accomplish this

Well, that's all. If anyone has any questions or opinions, write them! (Or, if you think there are errors here!)
Happy posing!
