30 Cats Who Have Mastered The Art Of Sleep

Anyone who has a cat knows they have the marvelous ability to sleep wherever they want, however they want. These pictures will show you just how funny or weird their sleep positions can get.

There are quite a few peculiar facts about cat sleep. For instance, cats sleep for about 16 hours a day – that’s 6 years for a 9-year-old cat. Snoozing, from which they can freely wake up at any moment, takes about three quarters of their rest. Moreover, cats are crepuscular – meaning, that their most active hours are dusk and dawn.

Given how much they sleep, cats have plenty of time to try out some ridiculous positions and places to sleep. The apparent inconvenience of sleeping in a bowl or between books seems quite a normal thing if you need to stay alerted at any time and when you’re as flexible as they are. Most importantly, however, they are hilarious and adorable.
