A Lavish Lineup of Long Hilarious Cats and Their Endless Obsession With Edges

Purrhaps it's because cats have 9 lives, but these kitties below really like to live their lives on the edge (pun intended).

If you're knew here, the first thing we should tell you is that cats are weird little guys. Their weirdness is not little, but the ratio of weirdness to body size is, in fact, quite large. They will decide the purrfect resting spot is inside the kitchen pan you leave out on the stove and decide that a random piece of lint is more fun to play with than any of the expensive cat toys you've bought them. They will sleep in the bathroom sink instead of their plushy cat beds. But one of the weirdest feline expurriences of all (and pawssibly the cutest) is when your cat shows you their obsession with edges. AKA, becoming a "dangler".

Not all cats are danglers, but you'll see the signs early on. From the meowment they're able to climb, they'll begin by resting their purrfect paws outside of whatever bed, hammock, or surface they're lying on. As they grow in size (and confidence), the dangling will also increase from a paw or two to the whole leg. Is it strange? Absolutely. But is it awwdorable? 100%.

All in all - cats will be cats. This post is the purrfect introduction into the wildly weird world of feline behaviors, so scroll through and pay attention. They're not only hilarious and silly, but they're also awwducational!

Sometimes, when we're feeling extra lazy, we pull off this pose on our beds, except with only our head dangling off the edge. We put our phone on the ground so we can look at our phone on our bellies without having to strain our necks and lower backs. Welcome to your late 30s, kids. We can feel the urge to yell at neighborhood kids to “get off our lawn”, but we don't have a lawn in the first place, so we're not really sure what to do with those instincts. Any ideas?

"You're just too cute ... And it resembles my kid so much from the bridge of the nose to the tip that I can't help but feel a strong sense of familiarity lol"

The dangling is strong with this one! And, in true brain cell-less fashion, he is an orange cat. Orange cats love to dangle (because they can't think about the potential consequences - their brains can't think that hard).
