Is this a normal way for a cat to sleep? He is a rescue and I’m pretty sure his hips were injured at some point, so I always thought that this was related. But we’ve just gotten a kitten who started doing it too.
I don’t think there’s a position cats don’t sleep/lie/sit in.
Cats sleep, anywhere, Any table, any chair Top of piano, window-ledge, In the middle, on the edge, Open drawer, empty shoe, Anybody's lap will do, Fitted in a cardboard box, In the cupboard, with your frocks- Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.Eleanor Farjeon
My wife thought this was our cat and when I said it was a post she tried to show me where in our house I took it.
So I guess what I’m saying is yes, my cat does this
Weird way to find out OP also lives in your house.
Very normal. The Loaf is also a pretty common cat pose.
I think it would be weirder if your cat DIDN’T have some unusual way they like to sit.
An excellent point!
We have a ginger that looks practically identical and he lays like this often. He likes to stretch those back leggies out.
This would be akin to you sticking a leg out of the covers for that cool air.
Yes that is normal cat behavior. They sleep in all positions
Yes and whenever he does it I can never stop myself from calling him a “fat snake”
Cats are liquid
Yep.
Definitely no injuries sustained in his life. Just a regular 'ol weirdo.
Oh das a beautiful boi.
My cat likes to let his leg hang off in the distance. We call it the “chicken leg”
Totally normal. Sometimes you just want to curl up but still stretch out your legs!
