Purrfect Pictures Of Cats Shrimping Their Little Hearts Out And Looking All Types Of Delicious

Hey, friends! Are you familiar with the term 'shrimping?' If not, allow us to break it down. Shrimping is when a cat's resting position visually resembles a shrimp, yes the shellfish. The cat curls its body into a ball-like shape, similar to how it might sleep.  Unlike a typical curled position, when shrimping acat stretches its hind legs straight out behind it, often extending past its head. With the body curled and legs stretched back, the overall pose resembles a shrimp, particularly before it's been cooked and straightened. 

Over here at the ICanHasCheezburger editorial office, we are totally obsessed with shrimping. We think it was one of the most delicious resting positions a cat could assume and you can only imagine what our group chats look like when we get home to our shrimping cats. Today we are serving you up a hot seafood platter overflowing with delicious feline shrimpies. These shrimpies are so cute and delicious we could just eat them up! Enjoy!
