Cats' Sleeping Positions & Their Feelings
Cats spend a lot of time sleeping in different positions.
As with all animal behaviours, there is consensus on what certain sleeping positions convey, while some positions have enjoyed less agreement among cat experts. So here we go:
Like a Ball
The most common position. Curling into a ball conserve heat. Curling up also make them look smaller for predators. Although your cat may be sleeping with teddy bears, this position is auto-programmed into cats.
Gymnastic Position
Hmm, the cat experts doesn't have an answer
Eyes Half Closed
Napping position. Your cat can wake up quickly if there is sudden movement in your house
Side Sleeper
A vulnerable position for cats in the wild; which means your cat feels comfortable in your home. You may think the cat is having a deep sleep but some experts say this is a napping position.
Paws covering the eyes
Do NOT Disturb
Bread Loaf Position
Paws tucked in, Sitting up, and eyes closed
A napping position, your cat is still keeping a watchful eye on the kingdom
Sleeping perched on high places
If your cat sleeps perched high, on a railing, the couch or some long thin surfaces, they are napping while keeping a watchful eye over their realms.
Superman Position
Your cat is extremely relaxed in a deep sleep
Cats Sleeping Together
Bonded cats. Cats often sleep in more exposed positions when sleeping together
Belly Up
Congratulations! Your cat completely trusts you
