Cats are so weird, so wild, and purrfectly unpredictable - and that's exactly why we love them.

I've been a cat lover and owner my entire life. I grew up in a household with cats, when I was an adult I adopted my own cats, and I spend all day at work writing and talking about cats. You would think that I've seen just about everything there is to see from cats, but that's where you'd be wrong. The wonderfully whimsical thing about cats is that they always have some sort of trick up their sleeves, some quirk you've never seen before, or some hidden talent you thought previously impawssible.

I've seen cats survive snowstorms in the depths of winter, and lost cats find their way back to their owners after more than 9 years. I've seen cats risk everything to give their kittens a better life and flexible felines folded into shapes that don't seem pawssible to the hooman eye. I've even seen cats adopting random animals, like otters, as their family, and cats becoming best friends with horses. But what I've never seen before is what this black cat owner's cat loves to do below.

His cat loves to hang on chairs. Technically, he is hanging, but we like to think of it more like folding his feline body for the purrfect upper back and lower back stretch all at the same time. To us, it looks pawsitively uncomfortable, but we all know that cats are liquid, so purrhaps it feels quite delicious to him.

As strange as it may seem, we found out through some more research that his cat isn't the only one with his hilarious habit of folding over furniture! It's a thing, and apparently now we're purrmanently obsessed with finding cats that share this wholesomely silly habit.

Does your cat do this too? Or are my cats just the weird ones who don't do it? Scroll down to see all these folded felines below!

Cats are weird, which is exactly why they're the best pet you can have. They're constantly purrviding you with free entertainment. Dogs are more or less predictable. They want to play, go outside, walk, do their business, come back, and sleep. Not much room for improvisation there. But cats? Cats have all the time in the world to be quirky and weird.

He's comfortable because we can't assume that cats feel comfort in the same pawsitions we hoomans do. I've seen cats with their heads twisted around and back arched in a C-shape, fast asleep and snoring like a trucker. Their spines are way more flexible than ours, and everything is more… fluid. If he chills there like that, he's comfortable. No way a cat would choose to lay in a position that makes them uncomfortable.
