Have you ever stopped whatever you were doing simply to admire a sleeping cat? Of course you have, because cats don’t nap like dogs, humans or any other creature in existence. For one, they nap hard. They’ve also figured out how to fall asleep in positions and places that make no earthly sense. Sometimes it’s in a cat bed, and sometimes it’s face down in a plant.
Maybe that’s why “cat nap” is a popular term, as opposed to “person nap” or “pup nap.” Cats are simply the best at it.
So, if you need a little inspiration to get some shut-eye in unconventional ways, behold these 20 tired cats who take napping to a whole new level.

Talk about a relaxing nighttime routine, am I right? This sleepy kitty has it made.
9. Chillin’ Like a Hooman
This is how the people do it, so George and Wheezy have decided that they will spend their weekends like this, too.

Niko and Poko will wear whatever silly outfit you want them to wear, as long as they can sleep the entire time.
11. Couple’s Nap

12. Current Mood
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year…
Note: While this position could be seen as a health concern, sleeping face down is a normal habit for some cats, including the beautiful and peculiar Weasel.
13. All Ears

When you can’t trust the lettuce, but you’re feeling quirky, so you turn your lunch into a hat instead.
So, what have we learned? Basically, cats are not of this world, and they’re master nappers. When they decide to take over the world, hopefully they’ll show us how to snooze like pros.
