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?

My boy cat is the only dangler too. Girl cat far too much of a queen to lower herself like that

This is the best thread.

Loving all these kitty poses!
Our new girl definitely loves a dangle 😁

My dangler is female. She also randomly lies on her back both in the middle of the lounge and in the middle of our reasonably large lawn. We put it down to her having been brought up with our (now sadly departed) German Shepherd 😆

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

You knew it was a really hot day when mine did this.

They are all beautiful weirdos!

Mr Maurice Moss is a dangler

Here’s Charlie, my little weirdo

This thread is a tonic! My Clyde , now gone sadly, used to manspread majestically.

I have one who does this, this last photo he stretched out so much in his sleep he fell off! His brother sleeps with his tongue out 😍

These beautiful danglers have brought me much joy this evening, thankyou all!

My cat is looking on with non-dangley disdain

Is it a ragdoll cat? If so yes, they can sleep in very odd positions as they go all floppy when tired / happy

Great thread, cute cats

Yes ours does that hanging from my OH's knee

Here's my gorgeous boy who died a year ago tomorrow. He was only 5.

He loved sleeping with his paws out.

Does anyone else think this looks like she has borrowed some extra long legs from a much bigger cat 🤣. So cute

This is so sweet

She really does!

Also makes me think of those photos you see of owls with their extra long legs 😁

Beautiful cats. Every one of them.

I wonder if it’s to alleviate a bit of tummy pressure?

I agree. Dog lover here but now craving a dangly cat or two! Lovely photos everyone!

Mine too..

Such a beautiful boy ❤️

If you love these photos (I do!), there's a Facebook page for those who use it called something like My Cat Has Dangly Arms... great photos posted there every day of people's lovely weird furry overlords!

Loving these pics- I have a non-dangly cat so didn’t realise it was a thing 😂

@rereturner what breed of cat is your cat!?
