'I just stopped trying to make sense of it': A Caturday Cuddlefest of Cats Sleeping on Pawsitively Unhinged “Pillows”

Cats will use anything as a bed except their own bed.

Felines are fascinating creatures. We could talk for hours about how special they are, but one thing that not many people other than cat lovers know is that cats can sleep literally anywhere. In any position. Because cats have such flexible spines (science says they have them, but after the poses we've seen our cats sleeping in, we're not convinced), they can find comfort in the most random things. You'll often see them napping on metal objects, their fluid feline bodies adapting to the edges with ease and sleeping deeper than a baby.

We don't know why cats love to sleep in anything other than their actual bed, purrhaps it's they do it just to make us feel silly for spending $80 on a memory foam cat bed, but who knows? But in today's Caturday cuddlefest, we're exploring the furbulous feline choices of "pillows". We can tell you that not a single pillow is found below, but kettlebells? Yes. Why not? Who wouldn't love a cold, hard piece of metal over a soft, cushiony pillow?

At a certain point, you just have to laugh and go with it. If that's what makes them happy, then by all means, sleep on that watermelon. It's all part of the purrfect expurrience of being a cat owner. At the very least, they make us giggle with their pawsitively unhinged "pillow" choices. We might just start leaving out random objects to see if they choose them next.
