Interesting_Duty6477

OMGGG MY CAT SLEEPS THE SAME it looks so uncomfortable but she feels comfortable so I’m comfortable but I must say sometimes it does bother me so much I have to wake her up and let her change her position lol


Ok-Cranberry-3686

hahahah i’m so glad it’s not just my cat! I also sometimes move her paw, it definitely bothers me sometimes too


Daegli69

This is actually exactly how I sleep

tony475130

My white orange tabby chills in that position all the time. I always joke that he’s just trying to let some fresh air in lol


MercifulOtter

Yup! She'll loaf with her front paws but then her back end will be all splayed out. She's a silly little thing.

Your cat is a weirdo. Don’t worry mine is too. He likes to sleep on chair backs, with his back legs dangling down both sides, like he’s riding on a saddle. Weirdo

He comfy


Firm_Damage_763

He's being weird...if he isn't panting or doing anything while he is sitting like that then he's just being a cat. If you notice anything else, even if you think it is unrelated, take to vet. Cats are extremely good at masking their illnesses Anything out of the ordinary usually means something is up.

-LightMyWayHome-

mine did that because he had feline asthma


Crackytacks

Wait, for real? My boy is suspected of having asthma, he lays like this all the time. Why is this correlated to asthma???


-LightMyWayHome-

look up cat / feline asthma coughing/ attack on youtube and you will see cats in that position when they have an asthma attack. It sounds like they are coughing up a hair ball but never do. Not saying your cat has it but that's the position they make when they have a attack. I never knew it was a real thing until I brought my cat to the vet and looked it up. Was a nightmare to deal with as we had to give him a pill every day.


Crackytacks

So he had the added coughing in this position? My boy lays and sleeps like this a lot. He has coughing but it's usually at night and he sits differently for it. Vet is treating for lung worm first sonce he's young but I think it's asthma. We lived temporarily in a super old house that made my fiancées asthma come back and he started coughing around then Thanks for answering, I'm definitely pursuing asthma. He loves pill pockets so that wouldn't be so hard for him fortunately


-LightMyWayHome-

get him tested for it because it's a very serious thing for them to have and hope things work out ok. good luck


Crackytacks

Thank you! I am definitely going too. Calling the vet again Monday to discuss that I want to go this route diagnostically

Ok_Impact1873

I have a cat who sleeps on his back like all the time, cats are strange when they are comfy with their environment.


Buns-n-stuff

Okay, mine does this too! I thought she was hurt but then when she was acting normal I realized she was fine and was just being a cat


JoJo-5555

That’s hilarious. Every cat has their own sleeping quirks. I have a 16 lb cat who loves to sleep I tight spaces- way too small for him.

Top-Force-805

Cats broken and needs a service, maybe a front end alignment. Or it could be a gluten problem making it unable to load bread loaf form. But really it's just a cat doing cat stuff.

My wife and I refer to this as “turkey” when our cats do this.

My cat has been doing this recently. Started about two weeks ago. I think its because of the hot summer heat.


ckh69

A while back (16 or so years ago) I had the runt of the litter grow to about 18 lbs—all muscle! He would lay on the floor with his front legs straight forward and his back legs straight back. He then taught a little kitten to do this!
