First position when your cat sleeps: sitting

Your cat seems to have been waiting for something for a long time to the point that it begins to fall asleep. I'm sure you've seen your cat in a sitting sleeper several times. your cat can take a light nap but it can take off at any time.  Look at his ears. It is his radar that will warn him in the event of an alert. In the meantime, he rests and closes his eyes. If a predator or any threat approaches, your cat will hear it and open its eyes. In this position, his escape can be immediate, faster than saying it. A short, light nap generally lasts 15 to 30 minutes for your cat. But his trick is to add several in a row.

Your cat sleeps curled up

You also know this position when your cat is sleeping. Its spine and tail seem to make a nice curve that wraps around it. Your cat lays its head towards its chest. He finds two advantages in this curled up position. First, it retains its heat. Second, it defends vulnerable parts of its body against a surprise attack. When my three cats take a nap in the garden, I often find them in this position. Their sleeping position confirms to me that they know they won't have any unexpected visitors. They have known the same outside of the house for 13 years for my two oldest cats.

Nap your cat on the side

Finally, it is a very loose and relaxed position for your cat. When you see this position, you can be reassured about your cat's peace of mind. It is the expression of total satisfaction and optimal safety. Your cat can fall into a deep sleep in this position.

The cat sleeps like a contortionist

You also know this position when your cat sleeps very comfortable with you. Your cat tenses and stretches its body. He loves to stretch to the point of shaking all over. And then he loosens up totally loose, anyhow. He does it like only a contortionist can. Some inexperienced Cat Parents may be afraid, but no, your cat is very flexible. His spine has absolutely nothing in common with that of humans. Your cat is capable of elasticity in the paws and the back, it is always so fascinating for me. If this is the case for you too, please let me know in the comments. When your cat sleeps like a contortionist, as he relaxes, his relaxed paws may be bent and drooping in an unusual way. His head is also twisted at a very unusual angle to the body. It is above all this spectacle that remains impressive.

Sleep on you

Find me someone who doesn't like to see a sleeping cat on their lap? Who doesn't love the warmth and fur of a cat that lays on your chest for a good nap? Tell me who doesn't like that? Someone who doesn't like cats? Do you know what will happen to him? People who hate cats will be reincarnated as mice. It's a quote that I like because it's above all smiles and tenderness. Wherever he sleeps on your body, your cat loves being against you. You bring him warmth and security. In this sleeping position, it is the ultimate sign of love and respect from your cat that he can offer you. So, appreciate it, celebrate this sweet and magical moment of your life together with your cat. I would love a selfie with your cat sleeping on you, on video it would be even better. Thank you, my cat friends.

Your cat sleeps belly up

In this position, your cat offers you the most vulnerable part of its body. We no longer speak of confidence but of total self-sacrifice. Your cat offers itself to you. He can sleep with his belly in the air next to other cats, it is a proof of absolute mutual trust between them in this case.

A cat sleeps in a stretched position

The position when your cat sleeps like SuperMan (or SuperCat), he is very relaxed. This position clearly shows his surrender to sleep. He is, in this case, immersed in a deep or paradoxical sleep. As for us humans, it is the period of dreams during sleep. There is almost always a deep phase and a paradoxical phase in a sleep cycle. I'm sure there are other positions when your cat sleeps. Show it to me in pictures please here. I would add that cats like to nap together when they know each other. Sleeping together makes it safer to be notified in the event of an alert. Two alert cats are more effective than one in ensuring safety.
