Is this a known cat pose or is mine just a (beautiful) weirdo?

[rereturner]

First cat I’ve had that seems most comfortable with front legs totally stretched out and hanging down. Spent ages like this today. Does anyone else’s favourite this pose?

I don’t have a cat but now need one!

My boy cat does this but off the corner of the table!!

I don't know

But is he trying to make his front legs longer?

Adorable 🥰

Maybe you'll find him in the reverse position tomorrow to make his back legs longer

So basically, I'm thinking he wants to be a taller kitty

Mine both do this and are beautiful weirdos.

What a beauty! Does he also like sharpening his claws on that chair?

They are indeed super beautiful 😻

He's gorgeous.

One of mine used to lie on her back with all 4 paws in the air (hussy)

On my bed headboard the other night too - maybe it is a leg lengthening plan

@rereturner oh that's so cute

Anyway, let me know if it works. I'm not quite sure where I would have to hang in order to try this. But I could do with any extra height.

Yes you spotted it. Thought I’d be able to have nice things once dc got a bit older but have given up now. Cost benefit analysis concludes cats are worth the beat up furniture.

My boy loves a flop

Never seen a cat who does that. Marmite loves to go on her back but I don’t think that’s unusual

My Jasmine used to sleep like that but it was a hazard when she encountered a hungry duvet….

Glad I started this thread now to see other people’s beautiful owners. Seems to be favoured by the longer haired ones, maybe just airing out the armpits

Mine like to be carried around by my husband like that 🤣

A few examples of my boy!

Here's the thread I didn't know I needed today! What awesome furry friends! Mine doesn't tend to do weird things anymore!

Mine favours the "mould into basket" pose

Mine likes to air his belly

Yes! This is the only way mine likes to be carried too. What a beauty yours is ❤️ Can I ask the story behind the eye?

Absolutely!😻

Tootsie likes to pose too

There’s loads of them!

I would say that is very’cat’
