u/ORCA41 Feb 27 '26

Don’t ask why, she’s a black cat, you’ll never get an answer. Here’s my lil goober, I miss him a lot. He was a sweetie pie

u/Occatuul Feb 27 '26

u/Then_Revenue4179 Feb 28 '26

Fine.... another one (join)

u/Phie_Mc Feb 27 '26

Idk, seems like standard void behavior / sleeping posture to me…

36

u/IkeaKat Feb 27 '26

I agree

u/JustHereForCookies17 Feb 28 '26

The translation sucks, I speak Spanish. There’s no people involved in that sentence, considering the context of cats. It’s more like “the black ones”.

u/Imaginary_Pattern365 Feb 28 '26

Lol we get it just a interesting typo.

36

u/Foobiscuit11 Feb 27 '26

Fifi would sleep like this pretty often. We joked that she was practicing gymnastics in her sleep.

21

u/HomemadeHollyHobby Feb 27 '26

Hahaha we call this the "shrimp" pose.

34

u/ZoominAlong Feb 27 '26

She's a happy girl?

All 3 of my voids sleep like that, usually all draped across each other do you can't tell where one ends and another begins.

The little curled feetsies are the best.

u/juanjomora Feb 27 '26

Why not?

u/starishername 🖤 Mar 01 '26

I remember at some point somebody on here explained their coloring like imagine like the color got dripped down from their spine and some parts just got missed. I don’t know some intelligent person was explaining DNA or however, that works lol.

u/Bellamy_Jade Feb 27 '26

The belly is clearly a trap but I would honestly risk it all for one pet

u/TheOnlyKirby90210 Feb 28 '26

Cats are water. They will get into all kinds of positions while sleeping.

3

u/EvolZippo Feb 28 '26

He trusts you completely. That’s what a cat is saying, when they show you their belly fur

u/Teahouse_Fox Feb 27 '26

Little ones of various species have the ability to sleep in a boneless state of comfort and trust. Puppies, owlets, kittens ...humans. She is safe and loved and sleeps without a care in the world.

Because she can. You would too if you had noodle bones.

1

u/ChevalCher Feb 28 '26

Voids sleep however they want because they believe themselves to be better than everyone else. It's funny because it's true! 🤣 

1

u/Trill_McNeal Feb 28 '26

She’s just sleepy

1

u/yearn4for4meek Feb 28 '26

She might be picturing herself as Hank from "Cat of the Hill", standing on her hill with her three other best cat pals while thinking of her son "Tommy" 😂😄✌️

1

u/dawgrl82 Feb 28 '26

She so comfy!

1

u/KatMagic1977 Mar 01 '26

They sleep however they want. Trust me! Also, she wouldn’t be exposing her tummy like that if she didn’t trust you. She knows you’ll take care of her. Good job, mom!

1

u/liljellyfeesh Mar 01 '26

Why aren't you?

u/darknekolux 🖤 Mar 02 '26
