Cats sleep anywhere, anytime - and that says a lot about how they feel. Here's what 6 common sleeping positions mean.
1. The donut (rolled-up ball).
Holding warmth and feeling safe. A classic, relaxed attitude with roots in their wild past.

2. Extended supine position
Belly exposed = ultimate trust. Pet the belly only if your cat likes it.

3. The "cat as a pillow
Lying on your lap or chest is pure affection and connection. The chance to strengthen your bond.

4. Spinning side position
Relaxed, but alert enough to get up quickly. A sign of balance and comfort.

5. Hidden sleeping spot
Seeks shelter for rest and safety. If your cat does this often, reduce incentives and offer more hiding places.

6. The roll / the sphinx
On belly with legs under body: half rest, half ready. Perfect for power naps between play times.

Are you away often and want to avoid stress? Book a cat sitter at home so your cat can continue to sleep in its familiar rhythm.
