That's easy for you to say! The sestina is a form that's always intimidated me. (Though I guess it'd do me good to try.) Since the cat was sleeping, I guess it'd be a siesta sestina.
I only remembered that it was complex and scary-seeming the last time I'd looked, and had to look it up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestina) again to answer your question. It's six sextuplets and a triplet, and the words that end the lines of the first sextuplet have to be used to end the lines of the other sextuplets, but according to a particular pattern.
I'd feel safer writing a double-dactyl (but those tend to come out as cutesy as limericks, maybe not the right feel for this image).
And a confession: I don't think I've ever intentionally written a sonnet, either.
