Twitter Thread: Awwdorably Calm Cats Chilling On Their Humans And Showing Off Their Danger-Bellies

If you ever get to live with a cat for more than 24 hours, there is one universally true thing about them that you will inevitably learn, and that is that cats fall asleep in some of the most uncomfortable positions that you will ever see in your life. And they look happy and content while doing it! There are so many cats that fall asleep in sinks - as if that's the softest, least cold and most uncomfortable surface you can think of. So many cats fall asleep in the faceplant position, leaving you wondering how the heck they're even breathing that way. Some cats even like falling asleep on eggs - literal eggs in egg cartons. Why? We have no idea.

But, by far, the cat sleeping position that we love the most is when cats fall asleep on their backs with their whooole bellies out on show. Yes, it's a little weird and funny, but that's not why we love it. We love it because it means that the cat is happy, that the cat feels safe, that they're content, and that makes us content too.

Is it "normal" for a cat to fall asleep like this? We don't really know the answer to that. But we do know that we wish it was. We wish it was normal for every single cat to feel comfortable and happy and trusting enough to do this with their humans. These moments with your cat are precious.

"Pretty chilled" is an understatement of epic proportions. Having your cat fall asleep on you like this is the highest sign of trust that they can give you. It means that they trust you to keep them safe, that they don't have to be on guard. It means that you're the one for them, and that's a beautiful thing.
