Cats have a tendency to do strange things, like sleep just about anywhere, from boots and cacti to hard chairs and shoes. And thanks to the owners of these cats, we get to have a good laugh as we take you through a few pictures of funny cats sleeping in the weirdest positions. If you aren’t laughing by the end of these… Well, you will be, so let’s get started!

Mission Impossible Kitty

Have you ever found yourself so tired that you fall asleep in the weirdest possible position? This kitty did, and if this picture is anything to go by, we think it’s safe to say that it had a very good nap indeed!

Reddit // u/Vo1x

When the fatigue sets in, it is hard to fight it, which is probably what this poor kitty thought as it made itself quite comfortable between the couch and an end table. Kudos to the kitty for not falling through the cracks, so to speak.

Home Alone Shenanigans

Do you remember the tricks you used to get up to when you were home alone as a child? Whether it was watching something you weren’t supposed to or digging into the hidden snacks, we all did something we probably shouldn’t have.

Reddit // u/Ralph_the_Cat

And, in the case of this sweet kitty, they chose to take a nap in a rather surprising place while his owners were out for the day. What’s the weirdest place you’ve caught your cat taking a nap? Does it trump this one?

A Nice Soft (Flower) Bed

This next kitty mistook their new snack box as a bed as they made their sleep spot in a freshly planted box of oat grass! It was meant for a tasty treat and not a place for them to lay their head down for a nap.

Reddit // u/Amyzonian

But, we can’t really blame the cat, as we, too, would love to take a nap on that soft grass in the warm window box of this home. Maybe next time, the owners should plant their oat grass in smaller containers. Or, better yet, outside.

Not a Cup Holder

Modern cars have a number of nifty little gadgets to make your life easier, don’t they? Sure, older cars had their uses, but did they have cup holders big enough to hold a kitten? No, Sir, they didn’t!

Reddit // u/PYRO49

Who would have thought that a cup holder could be such a nifty little kitten holder when the need arises? Guess we have technology to thank for this sweet kitty’s sleeping spot. Because we love it, and you can rest assured that we will be trying this one out for ourselves.

Twinning Is Winning!

It’s the sweetest thing when your pets climb into bed with you for a snuggle, right? And while we’re sure that your own pets are pretty cute, are they as cute as this cat who is sleeping in the exact same position as their owner?

Reddit // u/Jake5857

This is one pampered pet who clearly has no problem making the bed their own as they stole the husband’s spot and then proceeded to copy the wife’s sleep position. Oh, the audacity of this sweet and comfy kitty.

Bed of Roses… errrr… Cactuses!

One of the more common places for cats to fall asleep is in plant pots, beds, and other soft areas that make for really good sleeping spots. But never, and we mean never, have we seen something like this next picture before!

Pinterest // @boredpanda

We present to you a cat sleeping in a pile of cactuses! And no, your eyes are not deceiving you — that is a 100% real cat sleeping on a 100% real cactus! The only thing we want to know is how the kitty has avoided being poked by any of the spikes!

You Can’t See Me!

Is this kitten trying to camouflage itself against this beige wall? Or was it playing and simply got too tired to carry on, and just went to sleep instead? Guess we’ll never know. But, we’re so glad it did and that there is a photo to prove it.

Pinterest // @premiumfunny

We would love to know what Fluffy might have been up to that made them so tired. And without any context, it could be anyone’s guess at this stage. But let’s use our imagination and come up with our own stories, shall we?

Gray Goofiness

This gray kitty takes the cake when it comes to sleeping in a weird position! And while he or she was provided with a perfect little kitty condo to call home, they clearly prefer sleeping with their head outside of the condo instead.

Reddit // u/I_PUNCH_INFANTS

We wonder what sparked this weird sleeping position. The heat, maybe? Or does this kitty have a case of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and really just wants to be a part of the action that goes on in the house?

A New Type of Flower

Would you just stop and take a look at this new type of flower growing in this person’s flower pot? Oh, wait. Our mistake. It’s not a flower at all, but rather a beautiful sleeping ginger cat. Silly us!

Reddit // u/seriousfuckinglee

Just like many other cats on this list, this kitty, too, decided that they wanted a comfy spot to lay down their weary head and catch a “catnap.” It just so happens that it had to be in their owner’s flower pot, and the flowers probably squashed too.

Three’s a Crowd

We just love the way that animal siblings tend to cuddle up close to each other when it’s time to sleep – regardless of how old or big they are. And this has to be one of the best pictures on our list of the funniest cats sleeping in weird positions.

Pinterest // @boredpanda

Pictured here is not one, not two, but three precious cats that clearly still love a good cuddle with each other at naptime. And the fact that they are striking the cutest poses is, well, just the icing on the cake for us!

Space Cat

We had to take a closer look actually to see the cat in this picture. And, boy, are we glad we did because the sight of this sweet little face hiding inside this person’s helmet is enough to make our hearts melt!

Reddit // u/CressCrowbits

According to the original poster, this sweet little black cat likes taking her afternoon or evening snooze in her owner’s boyfriend’s helmet every single time he comes around for a visit. All we can say is, “Sleep tight, little kitty!’

Sleeping Like the Dead

This next cat takes the phrase “sleeping like the dead” to the next level. According to her owner, there is very little that can disturb her while she sleeps, and that seems to be clear if the position she is in is anything to go by.

Reddit // u/bjjawhar

Don’t you wish that you, too, could sleep like that, even just for one night? We sure do! But, at some point, that kitty is going to fall on her head if she is not careful. We wonder if that will do the trick and wake her up.

Kitty, Are You Okay?

Imagine being sent this by your mother when you ask how your cat is doing when you’re not home. Don’t know about you, but we would wonder if our cat was really and truly okay if we had to see them doing this!

Reddit // u/Sofiechu

This looks rather uncomfortable, doesn’t it? Just look at how this cat is sleeping! It seems to be standing up and face-planting the cat tree. But yet it stays asleep! This is a puzzling one, indeed, but cute nonetheless.

Superman, Is That You?

Have you ever come across those kinds of photos where moms put their babies in funny poses so it looks like they are superheroes or flying or are mimicking Renaissance artwork? Well, this mom did that, too, except she has a different kind of baby altogether.

Reddit // u/Limbric

Introducing SuperCat — everyone’s favorite superhero. Well, that’s what it looks like to us, anyway. Others, however, have compared this picture of a sleeping kitty to Michaelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam.” What do you think?

A Fluffy Face Mask

We’ve seen quite a few cats sleeping on their own by now, so this picture is a bit different as it shows a beautiful white cat lounging on its owner’s chest as it sleeps. But something is missing. And we are going to tell you what it is.

Reddit // u/vloss

Personal space! That’s what is missing! This poor cat owner is having to sleep with his cat practically on his face. We can’t imagine how comfortable that would be, but let’s be honest, we probably wouldn’t mind it either.

Waiting for Dinnertime

This poor cat owner was just trying to do the right thing by putting a timer on his cat’s food dispenser. And, if his chubby cat is anything to go by, we feel that he made the right decision after all.

Pinterest // @chocopudd

What he didn’t bargain on is that his cat would wait for his food and get so bored or tired doing so that he would fall asleep on the bowl itself. This is a perfectly timed photo if we do say so ourselves. Absolutely brilliant!

If it Fits, I Sits

Isn’t it funny how cats will try and squish themselves into the smallest spaces, even when you know for a fact that they won’t fit in there? This cat was not letting his size get in the way of his nap, especially when there was a toasty fire waiting to warm him.

Reddit // u/pzycho

Do you have any funny stories of your cat weaseling their way into small boxes or even shopping bags? And if you have, why have you not shared them? Who knows, your photo could appear in our next list of the funniest cats.

Where’s Waldo?

To be honest, we’re not too sure what is happening in this picture. Is the cat too big for its bed, or is it just more comfortable with the lower half of its body sticking out like that? Sigh. If only we spoke “cat.”

Instagram // @ragdolls_uuno_and_manu

Just like the previous cat on our list, this cat, too, has tried to worm its way into a rather small hole for a nap. And the result? A photo that his owner has proudly shared with the internet for the world to see.

When You Love the Wall

Cats love boxes, cat trees, laps, and now walls, as this photo shows this cat pressed up against the wall behind the TV cabinet, having a fat snooze. And, if we didn’t know better, we would think that his owners probably didn’t know he was there either.

Reddit // u/punchahyourbuns

What is it about cats and choosing these insanely weird hiding spots? Can they not just be like dogs and sleep in their beds or on a pillow on the floor? Well, of course not. They are far too majestic for that.

Spot the Kitty

Cats have a tendency to hide a lot, especially when they have their nap, which makes this picture even more incredible. At first glance, you might just notice the two ceramic statues holding each other in an embrace.

Facebook // Kittler

But look closer, and you are in for a surprise when you notice that there is a cat sleeping in the arms of one of the statues. Let’s say it all together now, “Aaaawwww.” Have you ever seen anything cuter?

Gotta Have Your Greens

Ha! You thought you could enjoy your lunch in peace? Guess again because your cat has its own ideas and probably thinks that your lunch consisting of a salad is a soft, cushy bed for it to sleep on. Poor human.

Facebook // NOVA Cat Clinic

Sure, we all know that cats love sleeping in containers or pot plants, but have you ever seen this crazy combination of weird places that cats sleep in? We certainly haven’t, which makes this picture the perfect addition to our list.

Scaredy Cat

Picture this: You slowly creep up on your cat to take a photo of them sleeping sweetly on your bedside cabinet. You think you’re being stealthy. And just as you are about to click that button, you wake your cat instead!

Reddit // u/ladymoonshyne

This is just what happened to this poor kitty. But, we must say that the results are rather hilarious as the owner managed to capture the look of pure fear and shock on the poor kitty’s face when they did so.

Sleep When the Baby Sleeps

Isn’t it just the cutest thing when your cat snuggles up to you when you are taking a nap? Sure, it might not be cute for everyone, but for cat lovers, this is the best feeling in the world.

Reddit // u/SlothOnHoth

And that’s just what this cat owner thought when he took this photo of his fiance’ and his cat sleeping together on the couch. But let’s not forget to mention the best part – the fact that they are both sleeping with their mouths open.

How Do They Sleep Like That?

We have one question for this cat: How the heck do you sleep like that and not have a sore neck the next day? Do cats suffer from sore necks? Or is this just a human thing? We’ll definitely have to do some more research on the subject.

Instagram // @skylion317

Whatever the answer, we wouldn’t want to bother this sweet kitty from their slumber either, and would rather just do as the original poster did and take a photo and walk away. Who are we to ruin their nap?

Where’s the Cat?

Have you ever spent hours frantically searching for your cat, only to find that they have hidden away pretty much in plain sight to take a nap? It’s a cat owner’s worst nightmare. And the relief must be incredible!

Reddit // u/book_worm200414

This is just what this kitty did when they decided to hide away behind the pillows on their owners’ bed for a nap one afternoon. While we aren’t sure how long the search was, we do know that it must have taken a while to find them.

Oh, Kitty!

Imagine finding your foster kitten taking a snooze in one of your shoes! It’s enough to melt even the most manly people out there. This was what one cat foster mom came across while walking around her home one afternoon.

Pinterest // @boredpanda

We don’t know much more about the cat, unfortunately, but we can safely say that if this had happened to us, we would be dealing with a failed foster and would be adopting this sweet little cat in a heartbeat.

In the Laundry!

This has to be the most obscure place we have seen a cat take a nap. No, your eyes are not deceiving you – you really are seeing a cat lying in a washing machine surrounded by items of clothing that were clearly put in there for a wash.

Imgur // Hipsterbanana

We hope that the owner is used to checking their washing machine before they push that start button because this seemingly innocent napping spot could have some serious consequences if they don’t.

Cat-in-a-Box

Forget that silly old Jack-in-the-box when you can have your very own cat-in-the-box! All you need is a cute little cat, a box of any shape and size, and a camera on hand to capture sweet moments like these.

Pinterest // @ebaumsworld

Cats really are strange little creatures, and we are grateful that they are because they make compiling lists like this (of the funniest cats sleeping in weird positions) possible. What would we do without them?

Over the Shoulder Feline Holder

Erm, excuse us, Kitty, but we don’t think that belongs to you! Can you imagine coming home to the sight of a cat asleep in your or someone else’s bra? We certainly couldn’t, but we are here for it!

Twitter // @sottdobrik

And yes, this actually happened. The original poster came home, looked for their cat, and found it asleep in their roommate’s bra. Talk about a weird sleeping spot, right? A bra, of all things. What’s next – cats sleeping in jeans or dresses?

Those Meow-nday Blues

Admit it – you have felt like this poor cat at one stage or another. But we have a secret to share with you – this cat is not moaning about a bad day. They are actually sleeping! Can you believe it?

Reddit // u/estherthegrump

We must say that this makes a pretty good poster for those who have the Monday blues, but we can’t help but focus on the fluffy belly and the tiny teeth sticking out. This picture deserves a spot in a frame on their owners’ nightstand.

Peek-A-Boo Kitty

A lot of people think that cats and dogs have somewhat of a love-hate relationship. And they’re not wrong if you think of how the relationship between cats and dogs is portrayed in movies and children’s shows.

Reddit // u/BoosterCogburn

But this picture here is one that is sure to change that perception, especially when you take a closer look and realize that there is a cat hiding between this dog’s fur and legs. Isn’t this just the sweetest thing you have seen today?

The Need for Space

Why is it that cats seem to focus on lying in one specific spot – probably uncomfortably at that – when there is a ton of space around them? Just look at this cat. All the space in the world, and she chooses to be squished against the side of her cat basket.

Reddit // u/frody1111

Silly kitty. But, if it weren’t for her quirks, we would have no content for our list of the funniest cats sleeping in weird positions. Thank you, sweet kitty. Stay as weird as you are, and keep making your owners (and the internet) smile.

Always Check Your Shoes

If you live in a country like Australia, chances are pretty good that you check your shoes for snakes and spiders before you slip your feet into them. But what about cats? Ever found a cat in your shoe?

Pinterest // @5minutecraftsfamily

Once again, we are blessed with an oh-so-cute snap of a cat sleeping inside a shoe, and this one definitely deserves a prize for being the cutest. Cat owners, always check your shoes! You never know what may be hiding in them.

The Couch is Mine

Summer has a tendency to make everyone hot and bothered. And this cat seems to be one of those who is bothered by the heat as they stretch themselves out along the couch to try and keep cool.

Reddit // u/buddyholly967

Sure, they could have chosen another spot and not taken up the whole couch, but that just wouldn’t be fun now, would it? Nope. This kitty has chosen this spot, and beware of anyone who tries to move them.

Cats and Blinds

What is it with blinds that always draws cats to them? Is it their shape? The material they’re made out of? Or is it just built into the cat’s psyche to play with the blinds in their owner’s house?

Reddit // u/shelbs724

We don’t have the answers to any of these questions, but what we do have is a cute picture that will make you realize that maybe, just maybe, they are also just looking for a cool place to hang out and think about life for a while.

Barbecue Dreams

Oh boy. This next picture is probably one of the cutest ones on this list and shows a sweet ginger kitten fast asleep in their owners’ barbecue cover. You know, that plastic dust cover that keeps your barbecue clean?

Reddit // u/Bigdaddydonavan

How it came to find this spot is a mystery, but we are sure that we can confidently say that this kitten is having the best nap of its life in this cool spot. We’re actually a bit jealous. Are you?

Soaking Up the Sun

If you know anything about cats, you will know that one of their favorite activities is to soak up the sun on the window ledge, couch, or anywhere that gets sun in your home. And boy, does it look like a fun thing to do.

Reddit // u/Kavalist

Rather than just position herself in a way that she will feel the sun on her neck, this cat has fallen asleep in a sitting position with her head stretched all the way back so that the warmth hits her whole chest and stomach. Ah, to be a cat.

Kitty Poses

We think it’s pretty appropriate to say that we will never ever understand cats and why they do what they do. Take this picture of this big and fluffy black and white cat, for example. It could be sitting absolutely anywhere, right?

Reddit // u/catamount1000

Right. But, instead, it chooses to sit on this step, its body at an angle to prevent it from slipping and falling down the stairs. Why not just move, kitty? It really is that simple. Oh, well. Guess we’ll just have to let it be.

Trashcan Kitty

Cats will sleep just about anywhere – and we dare you to challenge our statement once you get a load of this next cat on our list of the funniest cats sleeping in weird positions because this cat — ladies and gentlemen — is sleeping in a trash can!

Reddit // u/danielaine

While we can understand that it is probably nice and cool in there, we do hope that the owner uses it only for discarded paper and other office-type waste and not leftover food or tissues with boogers in them.

Decorum, Always

While we have seen many cats lying on their backs with their legs open in this list, this has to be the first time we’ve seen a cat that’s covering its own private bits with its tail. Cats don’t care about how they lie, but this one does!

Reddit // u/Redzeno2

Clearly, she’s a lady who is only trying her best to catch a nap in a comfortable position while still covering her lady bits. However, we can’t think why she would feel the need to. Oh, well, you just keep doing you, kitty.

Cat or Human?

Is this a cat? Or is it really a tiny human man wearing a catsuit who has fallen asleep on the couch watching the game? We were hoping the size would give it away, but we’re not all that sure, to be honest.

Reddit // u/Jayn88

Isn’t it strange how cats sometimes take on the traits of their human owners and mimic their poses? Don’t know about your cats, but this one definitely thinks they are the boss when you look at the position they’re in.

Puss in Boots

Country music stars, beware: there is a cat on the loose that WILL find you and make their bed in your cowboy boots! But, can you blame them though? Who wouldn’t want a comfy, warm spot to sleep in?

Reddit // u/Tuesdaymundy

We just hope that the owner of these boots doesn’t have smelly feet because otherwise, that kitty is going to come out of there smelling of more than just fresh leather and a bit of leather conditioner or shoe polish.

Shared Nap Time

It is incredibly hard not to look at this photo and immediately want a cat, right? We mean, look at it! Just look at this snuggly fat cat snuggled up to his human’s head while they both take a nap!

Pinterest // @lovemeow

It’s enough to make us want to run down to the pound or our local cattery and take a cat home for snuggles, right? Come on, you know you want to! So do it! Get yourself a fluffy cuddle buddy today!

Stretch and Sleep

Have you ever watched your own cat fall asleep stretching? Well, if you haven’t, you can now say that you have, as this is exactly what happened to this cat as they were taking a nap on their favorite chair in the living room.

Instagram // @worldfullofcats

The kitty clearly had a good stretch — and that’s as far as it went as it quickly fell asleep again, giving its owner the perfect photo opportunity. This is definitely one for the family photo album… if we do say so ourselves.

When Even a Chair Will Do

The last cat on our list is quite possibly the weirdest one we have shown you yet, and it’s not hard to see why when you look at him sleeping on his rock-hard tiny chair. Are you okay, Kitty? Because that doesn’t look comfortable at all!

Reddit // u/hellyanope

But, as we know by now, cats will sleep just about anywhere. And this photo is proof of that statement. He could have chosen anywhere in the house to sleep. But this is where he wants to be. Sleep tight, Kitty.
