All About Splooting: The Funny Pose Pets Do To Cool Off

If you haven't heard of splooting yet, then it's time to learn a fun, or depending on how you see it, rather unfortunately named word. According to Cat Time, "Splooting describes one of the silliest things a four-legged friend can do while relaxing. Splooting is when a pet lays out on their belly while having both hind legs splay out behind them instead of being neatly tucked under their torso." Interestingly enough, both dogs and cats can be found splooting on hot days and during times when they feel like stretching out.

Unsurprisingly, the internet finds pets doing unconventional poses such as splooting incredibly interesting and cute. Because we enjoy doing as many public services as possible, we here at ICanHas Cheezburger wanted to do a good deed and compile all of the best photos of pets splooting. Honestly, this is just as informative as it is awwdorable. Seems like we all learned something today, together…

We get it, this is a weird moment for everyone involved. It's sort of like when cats loaf, but much much weirder. While this flooffy kitty is probably just sploofing its way into cooling off, it's a little bit weird. For example, why here? Why on this floor? Why not just roll around the way another animal might?

Here we have a doggo sploofing on some imitation grass. He looks guilty almost, as if he gets how weird this looks to his hooman from a birds eye view. Never fear sweet doggo, your hooman accepts your sploofing, even if it looks pretty heckin' weird from our point of view to be all splayed out like that…
