'Wake me up when the weekend starts': 29 cats napping in preposterous pawsitions that purrfectly define your midweek mood

If you're having trouble staying awake today, you're not alone! Once Wednesday hits, it's like our brains hit a deep-freeze button and all our motor functions start to slow down. It's a struggle to keep our eyes open even after three times our normal amount of Starbucks. We've tried everything, from chewing gum to doing jumping jacks, and nothing can change our midweek mood from sleepy to, well, anything else. 

But if there is one piece of advice we will always remember from our dad, it's this: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

And who is better at napping in inconvenient places than cats? These purrfect creatures can fall asleep literally anywhere in almost any shape pawssible. In positions so twisty you can't tell which way is up or down. These cute kitties below are here to tell you that it's okay to close your eyes and sleep under your desk for 11 minutes, surely nobody will notice, right? Or maybe you can curl up in a bathroom stall for four minutes and get some shut-eye while you pretend to use the litter box. They won't stop you, that's for sure.
