If you’re somewhere near your thirties, you’ve probably already found out that sleeping is worth more than gold. Not to mention that you just have to clock in the appropriate amount of hours resting, but also have to do so on the most comfortable mattress (not too firm and not too soft), snuggly covered in a slightly heavy blanket and an orthopedic pillow supporting your precious cranium. And if merely a thought of an uncomfortable sleeping position makes you cringe, you definitely do not want to see the following list; mostly because you’re likely to get jealous of the relaxation capabilities of these kitty cats.
Now, it’s no news that us, humans, will never be as flexible as our beloved cute cats, but the positions that they can sleep in still manage to amaze us. These fluffy purr balls can contort their four-legged bodies in such spots, that even the best circus acrobat would never be able to recreate them, not to mention comfortably sleep in. You might feel the urge to throw in the comment, that all of the funny cats are liquids and they can fit anywhere, but after checking this compilation of weird cats in their sleeping positions, you’ll probably agree that this way of resting is only appropriate for demonic entities.
If you feel that your cringe digesting capability hasn’t been maxed out today, check the freaky sleeping cats below. As improbable as it may seem, the cats in these funny pictures are most likely having the best sleep in their whole nine lives.

I had five Scottish Folds, they all seemed to sleep like this. I once showed a picture of one of them sitting in the middle of a hallway like this, he asked if he could keep the photo, he hadn't seen anything like this. This was back in the early nineties, when this breed was fairly rare in Canada.

Very Few Things Disturb Her Sleep
Sophie Warner 6 years ago
My son sometimes sleeps like this. He wakes up with no feeling in his top half & sometimes nosebleeds due to it. He is not on medication or any substances, he has done it since he was little. I thought (hoped) he would grow out of it, but no. He is 19 years old now. I despair slightly & have nothing else to say on the matter. Lol!
