Cats are the best relaxers out there - they can fall asleep anywhere and in nearly any pawsition. If you have to learn from someone, you might as well learn from the best.

We all have minimal time to enjoy our weekends. Between errands, cleaning, cooking, taking the kids to playdates, and whatever else we have to do, it leaves little time for us to actually find some "me time." But that "me time" might be the most impurrtant part of your weekend because without it, you end up trying to fill everyone else's cup from your empty one. It's hard to be a good parent, pawrent, friend, coworker, or sibling when you don't even have time to make yourself feel like a real hooman being.

So, with the limited amount of minutes we have to actually relax on the weekend, we have to learn to make the most of them. Whether it means catching a quick catnap or settling down to read your favorite book, you have to be able to do it efficiently with the time you have. And who better to learn from than cats? Cats are the purrfect relaxation teachers. They can fall asleep no matter where they are and always find a way to get comfy, even in the strangest shapes we've ever seen.

These heartwarming Friday felines below are meant to help teach you how to relax the cat way. We all have people to take care of, but you have to first take care of yourself. And if you're a parent, like me, then you have to take whatever smol opportunities you have to chill and de-stress. Let these cute kitties be your teacher and have a pawsitively cheery, cozy, and comfy weekend!

Cats love spaces where they feel secure and they are meowsters at finding these places and claiming them as their own. Hence, their love for cardboard boxes. What is your hooman equivalent of a cardboard box? Is it your bed? Your car? Your couch? Figure out where that is, and try to make sure you always have a space there to rest for a few meowments every day. Surely everything else can wait for 5 minutes while you decompress and recuperate.

One thing that cats are great at doing is forcing everyone to adapt to their schedule. Cats don't care if you need them to be at a certain place at a certain time - they'll arrive exactly when they want to and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. So, if you're struggling to find time in your own busy schedule, maybe try making someone adapt to your schedule instead of always trying to fit them into yours.
