31 Cozy Memes of Felines Who Have Become One With the Couch Cushions

Couch potato mode activates immediately the second a cat touches a soft cushion. 

Cats can turn sitting on the couch into a full-day event. They find one warm spot on the cushions and suddenly the entire living room belongs to them. Blankets get trapped. Pillows disappear underneath fluffy bodies. Anybody hoping to sit down comfortably now has to carefully work around a sleeping cat shaped like a baked potato.

Cats also act completely exhausted after doing absolutely nothing all day. They flop dramatically onto the couch, stretch one paw into the air, sigh deeply, and close their eyes like life has been unbelievably stressful. Meanwhile their hardest task of the afternoon was probably walking to the food bowl.

Cats sleep in the weirdest positions too. Half hanging off the couch, twisted upside down, face shoved into the cushion, somehow balancing on the armrest with all four paws dangling. They can make the most uncomfortable-looking setup seem unbelievably cozy.

Trying to move them never works either. The second somebody shifts slightly, the cat suddenly becomes heavier than a bag of bricks. Now the hooman is trapped underneath a warm purring blob and forced to accept their fate.

Cats nap with the focus and dedication of somebody working a serious full-time job. After eight straight hours of couch potato behavior, they randomly sprint through the house at full speed before immediately returning to the exact same couch cushion for another nap.

    HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOFA COLOR < INTERIOR DECOR >
    via @catharnessaustralia

  • Every pawrent eventually starts choosing home décor based on one important question: how well will this hide cat fur? Dark couch with a white cat? Rookie mistake. Black clothes with an orange cat? Absolutely doomed. No matter what furniture gets purchased though, the cats always end up sprawled across it anyway leaving behind enough fur to build an entirely separate cat. At some point, pawrents just accept that every blanket, pillow, and couch cushion is permanently part cat now.

    via @Cat Rumble

  • Cats really deserve tiny little couches made specifically for them. They already spend the entire day lounging like they own the living room anyway. Imagine a miniature couch with little pillows and blankets just for dramatic cat naps. Of course, even if they had their own perfectly sized furniture, they would still abandon it immediately to steal the exact spot their hooman was about to sit in instead.

    Not moving

    My cat took my spot on the couch, so I decided to annoy her enough to get her to move. We are at a stalemate
    via @Mom Said No

  • Cats are so dedicated to being couch potatoes that they will stay on the couch no matter how annoyed they get. Their hooman can shift around constantly, accidentally kick them, steal the blanket, sit too close, and the cat still refuses to leave because the couch spot is simply too valuable. Instead they just sit there looking increasingly offended while aggressively flicking their tail and sighing dramatically every few minutes. Some cats would rather suffer through mild inconvenience for hours than give up a warm spot on the couch voluntarily.
