Cat with Watermelon – uncomfortable places to sleep

Cat with watermelon or why do cats sometimes chose uncomfortable places to sleep? We have all seen the photos of cats sleeping in the most uncomfortable (to us) “beds”. Why? The answer must be that for a cat it is not uncomfortable. Simple.

Here is a photo of a cat in Japan sleeping in a hedge. The cat in the video is Japanese too. Is something going on?

My cats have often preferred to sleep over cables on the bed when there was plenty of nice, flat bed space to sleep on.

Cats generally like comfortable and cosy places to sleep but it isn’t essential. When it is hot they prefer hard flat surfaces to sleep on because it is cooler but sometimes it just looks plain uncomfortable.

Sometimes, I have to resist changing their positions while thay are asleep. They make me cringe, but they are snoring away. Heads hanging over counters, cramming themselves into small boxes, or like this little guy, after exploring the trash bin, just fell asleep inside.
It’s amazimg.

  Proof that cats don’t mind that much where they sleep. Perhaps they just get really tired.

    There are many known and unknown reasons and insha Allah I will share an article about the psychologies of cats and kittens very soon that I have observed in these 9 years of my CATS handling. 🙂

Cats are amazing, positions that would be very uncomfortable to us seem to be their favourite ways to lie.

@Eva: lol
I think they sleep like that because they are built differently and it feels good. I sleep on a very broken couch with my head about a 70 degree angle due to my back and neck injuries. It’s heaven to me. One of the kids layed there and was in severe discomfort. Thank heaven for my couch!

Maybe the Japanese cat fell asleep in the Japanese bush waiting on the Japanese beetle to come out?
