What Your Cat's Sleeping Position Reveals About Their Health and Personality

- Cats’ Sleeping Positions can reveal a lot about their personality, health and how they are feeling.
This guide breaks down the most common cat sleeping positions and explains the science behind why cats sleep in certain ways.
#1. Curled-up
In the curled-up position, the cat curls its tail around its body and tucks its head towards the chest. This resting position means that your cat might be trying to conserve body heat and provide protection to the fundamental parts of its body. It’s the most common sleeping position for animals in the wild, too, as it helps conserve warmth and protects the vital organs.
#2. A Cat in a Box
A cat in a box position means that your cat is worried about its security and is seeking comfort and protection. When cats sleep in smaller, congested areas, this shows their concern about safety. The solid walls of a box make them feel secure by providing them with a tight and secure space. Other than boxes, cats may also seek out drawers, bowls, and other objects that they can fit tightly into. Maybe your cat is scared of other pets or children in the household. You can help her out by creating an enclosed box with sufficient fluffiness inside to help her sleep comfortably.
#3. Belly up Position
A cat’s stomach is its most vulnerable area. So, if your cat is sleeping in a belly-up position in which the legs are pointed at weird angles while the stomach is facing the ceiling, this is a sign that the cat feels comfortable and safe in your home. You can consider yourself lucky that you’ve won the trust of your fluffy pet. That’s because, cats are usually concerned about their safety and won’t expose their vulnerable parts when they aren’t sure about their surroundings. Sleeping on their back is an indication that your pet is confident and relaxed with its surroundings.
#4. The Half-Eye Shut Position
One thing about predators is that they hunt and do not like to get hunted in return.
This is the reason that your cat is not closing its eyes all the way even though it is dozing off.
In this position, you will notice that your cat’s ears are constantly moving, which means your pet is alert. This shallow form of sleep can last for hours. Your pet is aware of what is going on in its surroundings, and any unusual sound will jolt the cat into complete attention.
In another version of this position, the cat sleeps with one eye shut and the other open. This is called Unihemispheric Slow-wave Sleep. In this form, half of the brain is in unconscious while the other half is conscious and alert.
This form of sleeping is beneficial because your cat can rest even in places with some sense of threat.
#5. The Loaf Position
In this position, the cat sits upright but tucks its front paws under the body. If you find your cat sleeping in a loaf-like position, this means your cat does not want to sleep for long and is only resting before the next activity.
#6. Sleeping Sideways
Sleeping sideways is an extremely relaxing sleeping position for a cat. Sleeping on one side with their limbs stretched out means that your cat is fully content and feeling safe. Your cat is in total relaxation mode and does not feel the need to remain alert. Cats fall into a deep sleep in this position.
#7. Paw Above the Face Position
Paw-over-face is one of the most adorable sleeping positions common to cats which will leave you surprised at most times.
When the cat puts a paw across the face, it signals that they don’t wish to be disturbed.
This generally happens when the cat is sleeping soundly and unknowingly. This position also occurs when a bright light or the daylight is making the cat feel uncomfortable and so they cover their eyes as a result.
#8. Monorail Cat
Monorail position is when the cat lies on the arms or backs of chairs, sofas, staircase banisters, fence posts, or the tops of doors. Typically, the cat dangles down all four legs in this position. This position is called the “monorail” because the posture of the cat is such that it resembles a monorail transit system.
Cats have zero understanding of architectural rules regarding access and functionality. They like to rest in this position as it is more suitable for general surveillance
#9. The Contortionist
A cat in the contortionist position, will sleep all twisted up with their limbs hanging in different directions while her head is twisted at weird angles. There is no particular reason behind this position and your cat might only choose it because it is comforting to them at the time.
So, there you have it, all the most important and commonly observed cat sleeping positions lined up for you. You can now easily understand all those untold signals and signs that your cat cannot tell you themselves. You can find out whether your cat is feeling secure or threatened and if they are sleeping comfortably or not. - Навчання та стиль
My cat: *sleeps loaf position ready for next activity*
My cat's next activity : *sleeps curled*
That's my cat too. I usually think of the loaf position as a "transition" position, going into and coming out of sleep.
I call that position potato because my cats looks like a potato when he is sleeping like that
Lmfao. So accurate! My cat loves to sleep in loaf position on my leg... especially when I'm running late for something. 😅
Lol my cat does that too
Followed by slinking slowly to your bedroom to curl up comfy in your covers for 2 more hours
My cat -cries all night because I’m asleep/ ignoring him
Also my cat- ignores me all day
I would wake up and let him.
that is because cats are nocturnal sorry if i spelled that wrong
Raquel Vannucci actually they’re Dawn/Dusk creatures, I forget the word but I heard that from a Vet somewhere
Try playing with him before sleep and if have consistency and routine the cat will adopt your sleep behaviour.
@@BigMastah79 they are nocturnal
Our rag doll used to sleep on his back all the time. It was absolutely adorable because he was over 3 feet long and was just a big, fluffy boy. We had him for 19 wonderful years. I miss him dearly
Nineteen years with a humongous floofy boi! Fantastisch.
I'm sure you do. My condolences
Awe, I bet those years were wonderful. My ragdoll sleeps like so as well. It’s incredibly cute.
Huh
My cat simply loves boxes. And I can see she's not worried or scared. I put the box on its side so she can get in, she turns twice, (as per usual) and then flops down on her side with her head upside down. And because she does this outside of a box too, I know she's not worried or stressed. She just loves boxes.
True
Yup, cat’s fave stuff is BOXES
"This resting position means that your cat might be trying to conserve its body heat-"
Me: *immediate tucks my cat in a warm blanket* 🥺 my cold babyyy
Lol that is exactly what I do as well!!!
When the vid went off I took MY cover and put it over my cat he was still asleep tho I sleeped cold for the night BRRRR
Me too
Our cat always used to share it's bed with me.
Because we have to admit it, we may pay rent, but the cat owns the place.
I always give mine a blanket cause I almost never use the heater, as soon as I spread and hold it out she will curl up for it :)
*Paw over face means do not disturb me*
Me: *realizes just how much I've disturbed my cat in their lifetime*
ASDFG HJKL same😂
ASDFG HJKL same, after hearing that I was like “oops 😅”
I do that everyday

@@katienelson3788 Well, not disturb him/her anymore!
I love when their little toes curl when deep asleep, that's when they are truly happy 😊
Hello Lisa how are you doing today
My kitten steals my dog's bed and then sleeps belly up. He knows my lovely, gentle dog won't hurt her. She just goes somewhere else but, a lot of times, they both sleep in the same bed, dog curled up, kitten belly up and stretched full length.
That's sweet. Mine used to just hiss at the dog and then the dog would lie down on the floor in front of the bed letting out one those sad dog 30 s exhales. If she got desperate the cat got the wet nose treatment. Usually worked.
"paw up to face means they don't wanna be disturbed." me feeling guilty: well, they shouldn't have looked that damn cute!
who could resist them toe beans!
My tuxie show me his bellie when I touch him in that position 😻
Good for him that I'm not Chineese, I would eat him for him being so cute 😋
😂😂
I wish i would have known soonerni thought my cat was just covering her eyes of the sun
@@pinkegg3179 Ogoodgrief, what a perfect term for "feline toe pads"! I will call my (also shared w/spouse) sweet kittie's cute little pads "toe beans" from now on. I hope you haven't copyrighted the term....lololol
Cat: **Has comfy bed**
Also cat: **sees laptop** "Ahh yes, fine real-estate"
alex bolton
Fun fact! If a cat tries to sit on your keyboard, it’s because your attention is directed there and it wants attention!
Rebecca Harman bruh, thanks for telling me that. but rn he’s eating a dead baby bunny, so i’ll give to you him later :(
There are three possible reasons for that.
1) As Rebecca mentioned, it may be because the cat wants your attention.
2) It may be because it stands out, and the cat believes you must've placed it there for the cat's benefit. Cats will do the same with anything flat that you place on the floor.
3) This is controversial, and ignorant people may think it's crazy, but... it may be because your laptop is more expensive than the cat's bed. In my experience, they can sense the cost of things, and invariably prefer the most expensive things. I may be joking, but I'm not sure...
Computer warm
My cat likes sleeping in my bed😅
I usually pause from work (I'm WAH) and just stare at the cat when he's sleeping. It's heartwarming to see a belly-up position or a side one accompanied by a soft purr. It's like I'm just thankful he feels safe with me.
Thanks so much for sharing this - very interesting!
Hi I love your channel!
OMG HI
Nice thing told in many videos i saw cat sleeping in the Last position u said.
@@imogen6843 Thanks so much!!
@@ITZLYNNN45 HI ^_^
Cat: laying belly up
Me: rubs her belly
Cat: *ACTIVATE BITE MODE*
Absolutely true for one of my cats. The other two will let me pet their bellies all day!
weird my cat loves belly rubs and my dog hates them
Hahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My fur toddler loves getting her belly rubs. Even hard scratches too that you would normally do to a dog she loves it.
Some do, some don't. Bentley is just treating me to a view of his adorable belly, that's all.
"If your cat is sleeping in a belly up position ... this is a sign that your cat feels comfortable and safe in your home."
Me, tearing up: nice
🥺 this really made me smile about the stomach he loves to be cuddled like a baby on his back 🥰
sometimes when my cat is super sleepy but he wants to watch what’s happening outside the window he’ll fall asleep while sitting up and start rocking back and forth 😭 so adorable
Cat *slowly blinks*
Me: "I'm still Worthy"
It's funny cause it's true lol
😂 😂
Is it weird i do it back
I heard that if your cat blinks slowly at you it is your cats way of saying I love you. I randomly googled how does your cat say i love you or something along those lines and i found articles about how cats communiate their love and affection. some people were wondering if cats are capable of feeling love and and expressing it to their human..... which I can see why but damn. LOL. You might find the videos by Cherokee Billie (a spiritual medium) on cats interesting. she tells you historically what colors mean what and what the colors are lucky for and also cats are considered spiritual protectors and therefore lucky. I know it mind sound kooky but I believe it. I don't know about the colors but hey. You never know. A girl I know has a grey cat and the grey colored kitties are really good for emotional support and they are very sweet comforting kitties. She's actually grey and white but i don't remember what white means at the moment. Her cat is a perfect angel. She gives a lot of kisses (this girl that has her is like the meanest person ever---- we used to be friends but i can't put up with her anymore) and the cat just hangs out with her and is very sweet. Orange/Gold cats are supposed to be lucky for money. i know i'm rambling i just thought i'd share it with ya. LOL.
@@n4ppy960 omg same
Cats can also just like boxes and smaller areas, surely it doesn’t always mean they feel unsafe... sometimes they just want to snuggle
That's what he said he said for comfort 🙄
@@tmcr1280 she*
Agreed. We live in an older home with wood floors. The floor can be cool in cold weather. Pretty sure the cat sometimes opts for a basket or box because it's cozy. And she likes a change from time to time. LOL
Its their Natural instinct to fit into smaller spaces because in the wild felines sleep in Dens. In burrows. ya know... Small spaces. So yea it doesn't mean they feel unsafe its because they Want to feel safe and secure and snug. Just like how humans sleeping in their House arnt sleeping there because they feel unsafe its because we Want to feel more safe in our Natural environment.
@@tmcr1280 "means your cat is worried about its security, and is seeking comfort and protection." the phrasing in the video states the conjunction "and" not 'or' meaning the video is implying the cat is worried. period. Not just "for comfort". This original comment was correct in saying it "doesn't always mean they feel unsafe". That is after all true. A cat sleeping in a box doesn't mean the cat feels unsafe. So you're Wrong the video didn't say it was for comfort.
It's good to watch this before sleeping and seeing your cat comfortable and feeling safe ☺️
It's funny, I've had 3 cats over the years and the first two always slept in the same position, curled around (brothers, so maybe why they had the same preference)
My 3rd cat embraces every position mentioned here, except the monorail and the eyes open - though I'm happy to learn that it generally means he's feeling secure. The contortionist seems to be the most common & you just wonder where his head has gone when you see him.
Me: *doesn't have a cat*
Also me: *"Ah yes interesting"*
LOL

My boyfriend a year ago: cats are dumb.
My boyfriend now, after knowing my rescue cat for a year: did you know there’s a sleeping position called the monorail? And one called the loaf?
Ash Lyons yesss cats are great🥰
That's so cute😅😅
@@Alice-dv4wt My mom used to be the same until we got a cat in our family!
Random fact: hyenas can also loaf
😆 he has crossed over and is now a cat man 😃
I love how all of the sleeping positions that indicate that the cat is stressed or doesn't feel safe I've literally never seen my cat do.... and all of the your cat is super comfortable and feels completely safe with you is all I ever see him do 😄😍😺😺😸😸😻😻😄😄
I also love that he watches t.v. with me on the regular but also I've taught him how to give me human kisses! It's so darn cute I almost can't even put it in words ...like he will come up to me and open his mouth and kinda gum me on the lips lol he was using teeth (very gently) at first but he has it down now lol
Yay!!! My petite cat almost always sleeps on her a back with her bellow showing & she holds her paws up into the air in a position like she’s waiting to get a manicure- so hard to explain….wish I could put a photo on here. It’s comforting to know that she’s safe & content.
But you forgot the “Aha, laundry! Must now sleep on” position.
There is peace and serenity in the warm
Yassss
My cat does that all the time!
Yass, so truuee, but is it weird that my cat sleep in our drier
Also: Alarm's gone off, Mom's going to get up. Must prevent that and go to sleep on her chest.

I am a knowledgeable and experienced owner of multiple cats since 1997 and have worked or volunteered in 3 animal shelters since 1999. This is pretty accurate about cat sleep positions.
Every time there’s a box or bag in the house, my kitten jumps in it. Jumps out. Jumps in. I don’t think she feels unsafe. She’s a kitten and is playing. She rarely stays for more than a moment. Her preferred sleeping position is belly exposed ❤️
My cat: sleeps on it's back
Me: my life is now complete
My kitty toooo!! 😻 And she loves belly rubs!!
Yasss
@@as_told_by_carley9572 mines too
I swear ragdolls all sleep on their back and weird positions
mine either sleeps on it's back sideways or in a box
“Half the brain is asleep and half is awake” wish we could do that.
That's most of the people you see walking around every day...
Same
I have kids i feel like I'm already like that
a lot of people do it
I do it on my drive to work
Both our ragdolls absolutely loves sleeping belly up position. Our younger ragdoll that we got home who is much more scared of literally everything) also learned it from the eldest one eventually. Although our eldest one have started sleeping behind the sofa more often now because the younger one keeps trying to compete with him and so he can get more peaceful sleep. They are my first cats I ever had, I remember I used to call this the lazy sleeping position regardless how young they were until i searched and learned about it.
thank you! glad to know that my cats are always confortable and feeling safe!!

What your human’s sleeping position reveals about their health and personality
True. I mean my cat can tell when I'm having nightmares. When we still let her in the room she'd paw at my face until I woke up.
human's sleeping position? whatever doesn't interfere with the cat's sleeping position lol
Thats real life lmao
My human sleeps with someone else now. I think it means that she doesn't like me anymorre
@@hanky5854 aw
“Paw on the face means they don’t want to be disturbed”
lol no matter what position they sleep in they never want to be disturbed
True, that! A cat that feels like being "disturbed" is generally an expert at letting you know about it (hint: if your cat is sleeping on your computer keyboard while you're trying to type, or sleeping on your book while you're trying to read, or has plopped down in the middle of your board game or jigsaw puzzle while you're trying to play, it's probably a good sign that it's one of those special moments where your cat actually wants your attention!)
Every day my cat does that!
He always types on my computer and sleeps right next to my chest on his side purring.
FAX. I should know
One of my cats sleeps in a curl with it's back paws smashig his face lol
I got an old shelter cat who might have been abused by their previous owners and she almost always sleeps on her side with her legs stretched out. This video makes me happy.
My other cat Cheeto sleeps on his back in a belly up position, but completely straight with his legs spread out at the sides. 😂
It’s so cute!!
My cat sleeps on his back with his legs curled. After he's been asleep awhile he makes a running motion until he freaks himself out, jolts awake, falls back asleep and repeats the process.....
_"The contortionist"_ is the shape us humans sleep in when our cats allow us a little bit of space in our own beds.
It's so frustrating to wake up in the middle of the night in an X-position with the cat in the middle of the bed and you can't bring yourself to move them. 😩 I'm so glad my current cat prefers sleeping near my head.
i don’t have a cat but it’s funny
I know that feel bro😂
@@vanyadolly or when you try to stretch your leg but there's a mass there that doesn't allow you to. they're lucky we love them so much.
You Guys bring your Cat to hang around your bed in the evening and cuddle with you? I’m so jealous!
My cats will sleep belly up in boxes. mixed messages being sent 😂
LOL
@kyn kynz Yes, even some people will find it more comfortable to sleep in a smaller confined space rather than in a large king-size bed, I'd be one of them. I find it much easier to sleep on the linvingroom couch than my own bed. The backrest offers support and helps feelling cocooned in warmth. If I ever have trouble sleeping or need an afternoon nap, I always go there. Works like a charm.
Cute message! 💖
Same lol
She trusts you but not too much
Thanks for sharing this video with me very helpful ❤
My cats common sleeping positions are the side sleep, paws covering eyes and curled up sleep. I’m most happy that he feels safe with us by side sleeping :)
My cat likes to sit like a person on the couch, and fall asleep like a drunk 40-year old father watching a football game.
I can just see my Grandpa half way into a Sentence and just doses off
hello how are you doing ?
*W H E E Z E*
My new female kitten sits on her butt legs out in front or her. Your right funny as hell. She just turned 1 year so I'm thinking it's permanent.

Thank you 🙏 for sharing ❤️💜🌷💜❤️
This honestly made me feel better, because my cat is always sleeping on my bed, on her back with her fluffy lil belly exposed and her legs usually on my pillow. If it really does mean that a cat is comfortable and happy, it makes me feel like I did a good job with raising the little floof.

Oooh this is really interesting! There were a couple of these that I had no idea about - thanks for sharing!
My cat literally has to sleep with his nose touching mine. And he loves tummy rubs which is strange but he just loves to be held. He cries the minute I put him down, it is honestly like having a toddler.
Haha mine loves to be held too and meows very loud until I cuddle her. I have to try to do everything with a cat in my arms
My cat HATES being picked up :D
XD
So cuteeee. Its so relaxing to sleep with a cat. Warm + soft + purring = perfection :"( mine usually sleeps on my chest.
@@akofantella8257 i have 3 cats and only 1 hated being picked up but after a while by just picking her up cuddling her and giving her rubs with finger under her chin she started liking it more and more and now i can hold her for a few minutes without her trying to get away do note that the cat probably feels really unsafe when being hold so loud noises etc. can get you some pretty nice scars and nice bleeding if you aren't careful
I think most cat lovers know instinctively what each position means. Most cats automatically like to crawl inside boxes and seem to feel cozy and hidden in a box but not out of fear. If they're fearful, they'll run and hide under or behind something.
Like my cat. She hide under a bed, when she have to go outside but don’t want it xD
When my cat is afraid she hides in my closet.
Cats are fascinating to watch and that's why we instinctively know 😋
When my cat is scared especially during festivities and there are alot of firecrackers sounds, he'll run to me curls up on my lap or he'll run to nearest family members. Never he hide anywhere. I felt proud that he consider us his most secure place 😻

I don't think the box necessarily means they are worried, they just feel safe there.
I think it depends on the box. Are they always hiding in small spaces or is it a pet bed. If it's just a pet bed then they are not in hiding and makes sense their belly is exposed.

I have been a cat owner for all of my life and had no idea that their sleeping positions might mean something :) TOO CUTE :)
My late Maine-Coon Mix loved to sleep with his head on one shelf of the scratch post, upper body and belly dangling in mid-air, butt and hind legs resting on the lower shelf. I could not imagine this a comfy position but he liked it throughout the day. At night he slept curled up in my arm. 😸😸
i learned in vet school that when any animal shows their stomach to you(especially cats since they don't trust anyone easily) it means they basically trust you blindly and feel very safe around you and ever since my professor told us that i always cry whenever i see my cat sleeping with his belly facing up or when my dog wants belly pets
Beautiful person you are...and also excellent owner. I have Chrome, Diesel and Lager. They all do that everyday. Must be doing something right. Happy for you.
Our Maine Coon was sprawled out, belly up, within a half hour of bringing her home, Easter weekend. I sent a video of her to the guy who sold her to me and he seemed offended she was already happy with us.

4:15 monorail cat
4:49 the contortionist
@ඞ AlezTheYellow ඞ hey thanks 💖
I have 4 cats one of them the oldest look like the cat showed 3:14 and she is the oldest and the alpha in the group and her sleeping behavior are 2:01 / 2:56 / 4:15 / 4:49 well now I know she always alert since she is the alpha unlike the 2 they sleep 1:27 / 3:25 / 3:47 sleep mostly like that and the last cats the youngest sleep like that all the time
TYYYYYYY
My cat is sleeping right next to me. She is sleeping sideways
Yea
She said the cat was a pet. a cat is not a pet. We humans are a cat's pet. They train us quickly and well.
True doe
Okay sure cat
I agree with you. When I traveled I was asked it those were my cats. My reply was, "No, I am their human..."
Cats adopt us humans, dogs are man's best friend so qualify more in the pet category. I feel more like the pet with the cats.
If i could get a dollar for every time i read this comment in all cat videos
in soviet earth, cat owns you
Cute and interesting. It makes me feel happy.
My cat was curled-up on my bed when I stuble upon this video. So I quickly got up and put the hoodie I was wearing on him, and I earned a satisfied purr....and know Ithink he won't let go of that hoodie anymore kkk and its my favorite hoodie too
You forgot the position all of us cat owners get perplexed by.....the night-time human face hugger position.
I watched a video where it says when the cat gets up by our heads...that's the warmest spot on our body and they love it
@@cissyfrancois7837 Yes that's true, cats love the warmth. Furthermore, a lot of cats are comforted by hearing their owners heartbeat, because it reminds them of their mother! It could be another reason why a cat is sleeping close to your face.
My cat loves my feet. When they’re not bricks of ice they radiate heat.
Buuuut if she wants to sleep soundly or thinks I’m about to drift off she moves to the squashy basket at the head of my bed-out of accidental kick zone (especially if I’m having nightmares), and I can’t really lie in one position for very long without either mild panic or pretty bad discomfort
Which is sad. I’d love to snuggle with my cat when I’m actually asleep vs reading (before my joints and nerves and circulation get unbearable to keep still)
Sometimes I think they love this position to rule the world 😉 Having read P. Highsmith's "The cat" I make sure to keep my little furry butts well away from my face and throat. Cats can be little killers 😼😼 but I still love them dearly 😻😻😻
@@anonymousfellow8879 Yeah same I can't stay on one side without getting stressed out. Only when I make mini duvet cave for my cat to lay in front of my chest, my arms automatically support the roof even when I doze lol which is funny, probably a kind of parent instinct keeping me from agitation... That or cat powers XD
I'm just really happy to learn that my cat is happy and content. He loves to sleep sideways, facing his back against me. I really want my cat to know and feel how much I love him. Thank you for this
One of my favorite things is when my cat curls up to my back and slams against me to get comfy
This is my 3 adopted babies.
Brown d dog
Yummy and applejam d kittens.
I saw the 2 kittens crying on d road when were riding on a motorcycle.
One got hit and i got the 2 left. When i brought them home brown loved them and they bcame closed to each other as they were sleeping togerher, tgey love to sucks brown knowing broen was thier mom.. And brown let them do that until they got sleep.
Now they were happily living with us..m

@@budgetkitchen4439 I hope you got hospitalized after making that comment. You clearly were having a stroke.
@@luuno1981 lol
TOTALLY AGREE good to know they feel safe and content if only every animal could feel the same
So interesting. Thanks
this made me very happy as my cat sleeps on one side, and sometimes those weird posture
My cat's favourite sleeping position is half-curled up with his head almost upside down, whiskers proudly pointing up in the air. He snores LOUDLY when sleeping in this position. It's adorable!
My wife and I were watching TV the other day and suddenly we hear this whistling sound and we look at each other saying "What was that sound? We didn't make it." so we look at our boy Cheddar. and he's snoring loudly lol
Krazee Ladee Same with my cat 😻❤
TIL cats snore. I've had mine for almost five years and she is completely quiet when she sleeps. But she makes the most adorable purr when she stretches her limbs right before getting up.
a cats snore is the only one i can tolerate
Meanwhile, my cat: “I see you’ve just sat down, allow me to throw my entire body onto you before you’ve had a chance to get comfortable, extend my paws to insinuate my royal status, and get offended when you dare to shift...ever...commoner...”
Yes! My cat is doing that right now! I'm half lying half falling off a dining chair with my cat asleep on my torso and I dont wanna get up cause shes so sassy!!
Alex_ Moon it’s like cats know they can just make us do their bidding lol my cats royal name is senorita fuzzy pants the third but she lets me call her sonny 🤣🤣
Lorelei Catherine Mines name is Luna and she- Dont get me started 🤣🤣 She's sassy and thinks she the queen! She'll fight her brother(Onyx)for a spot on my bed and trust me it gets scary! She'll even push him off onto the dogs
Alex_ Moon sounds like my girl lol but my sonny has already established her dominance within the group of 5 cats I have so she doesn’t have to fight them anymore. She leaves her turds uncovered to remind the others of her dominance over the pack 😂😂 she’s the alpha and the omega round here 🤣😝
💋🐺💋
Aw, my baby really is happy and comfortable. All his sleeping positions reveal comfort, safety, or deep rest. He is a very friendly and affectionate cat though, so he shows that even when he's awake.
Lol. ❤❤❤❤
A lot of that made sense to me, now I know this , I will be more conscious of Bella's sleeping and positions, thank you, cheers
The first time i saw my cat sleep on his back i thought he died
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo when my cats sleep i always think they died so i have to wake them up to see if their dead or not
@@marin9295 even i used to do that when i just got it
Oh damn
Same with my 13 year old dog o.o
I always assumed he kept one eye on the refrigerator while asleep.
Well that's where the prey is kept...
😅😅😅
My questions is there a mouse in there or is the cat just scared of the refrigerator or scared that u might put him in it heh 😅😅
My entered into the fridge and we got him out of it
I put my cat in the freezer once
This is nice to know, both our younger cat ,and the elder one sleep belly up or on their side ,usually holding onto their blanket (or the throw at the end of my bed:),,Happy cat ,happy mum!!
Thank you!
My cat sleeps in the middle of the room on its back. Giving zero effs. You want to walk, walk around me peasants.
Amateur. Mine takes over the bed, regardless if I'm using it or not.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 i have a cat on my pillow and another one in the middle of the bed as i'm writing this. and i have to leave my desk at some point.
send help.
@@franny6221 Can't, currently have a 20 lb Siberian Forest cat sleeping on my chest in such a way that even typing this from my phone is difficult.
If you're ever liberated, send that assistance my way, if you please. I'll do the same should I be released before you.
Nida Pk Lmao
My Pixel will do this. Just lie down in the middle of the floor! I've heard cat experts say that no cat will do that but then again Pixel is a rescue and he doesn't know how to cat
This video: saying different ways a cat sleeps and what it means.
My cat: *sleeps in every way possible*
ua-cam.com/video/L1B6x12_G6g/v-deo.html
Same.. add on mine sleeps on top of me almost every night
i see your cat has multiple personalities xD
Happy to learn that”s my cat is happy and content 🥰🐱
Both my cats sleep with their bellies up. It is so cute to come upon them both asleep in that position. They sleep on the floor and apparently like to sleep on hard surfaces. They
stay on my bed until I am falling asleep. They jump on again when I am waking up. Has to be a morning petting session.
Sometimes my cat sleeps in a Superman's position, it's like he was flying 😂
Lol
XD
My cat too😂🐈🐾
Mine sleeps like this every. Single. Time 😂 i was hoping they would mention it!
Mine too it's soooooooooo cute omg
The Superman theme played in my head as I read your comment 😂
Cats just like boxes. It doesn’t mean they’re insecure. My cats will be in a box one minute and belly-up the next.
My cat only sleeps in a box when hes scared or having a bad day usally he sleeps outside.
Melissa .Garrett ikr, it doesnt mean you have to go find out why your cat could feel unsafe like they say in the video 🤦🏼♀️
I feel like a box full of blankets and pillows is just comfy. They don't feel scared? Lmao
SpixiCafé I feel like a box of blankets and pillows is what I need too
I think what this video failed to address is that sleeping in a box usually will only mean their insecure if they do it consistently, if they just hop into a normal random box that's just curiosity.
My pregnant rescue cat was about to pop and she was sleeping belly up! Im glad she felt so safe at such a vulnerable time in her life
My cat comes into my dreams and wakes me up when she wants something. Sounds crazy but it happens all the time, it’s really weird
I could realate that😂😂 my kitten would sneak out our kitchen ( Cuz we put her there every night..)
Then in the middle of the night she is already by my side sleeping like a piece of ice cream scoop..
Only thing i can say for you is man don't do drugs.
Lmfao
I read about this! You both are in sync mental telepathy wise! Wow!
Cats have terribly powerful mind powers, what you are experiencing is the first stage of mind transfer.
If you are not careful the cat will take over your mind and life completely, leaving your human
consciousness trapped in the furry meat-vessel that was formerly your cat.
My cat falls asleep In my arms every night, I recently got a loft bed and I was scared he wouldn't be able to get up... He learned to climb the ladder 🥺
Bless your sweet baby 🥺❤️
Awwwww how adorable
I'm impressed with your cat. When I had a bunk bed with my roommate in college, my cat tried to get up to sleep with me - she took a flying leap and ran face first into the railing. Roommate and I switched after that and cat was happy.
When I had a bunk bed my cat was able to climb up the ladder and down by jumping and I put a chair so she wouldn't hurt herself when she jumps down it was so cute but now I don't have a bunk bed
My cat jumps from the dresser underneath my bed and hit her nose once and started sneezing blood, scared me but she seemed fine within a day
