How to Cat Sleeping Positions Meaning

Figure out how your furry friend feels based on how they sleep

Your cat may communicate with you in a number of ways—through purring, rubbing against you, and crawling into your lap…but the way your cat sleeps around you actually communicates a lot. Whether your cat loves to loaf, stretch out like an acrobat, or curl into a ball between your legs, their position of choice may say a lot about their emotional state and how they feel about you. Here, we’ll break down every possible sleeping arrangement so that you can know how your cat is feeling!

Most Common Cat Sleeping Positions & Meanings

1. On Their Back: Your cat feels safe and comfortable with you.
2. In a Loaf: Your cat is keeping their paws and legs warm, but still ready to pounce!
3. In a Ball: Your cat is comfy and trying to stay warm as they sleep.
4. On Their Side: Your cat may be in a deep sleep, but they’re not fully relaxed.
5. Snuggled Up With Another Pet: Your cat feels secure with your other pet.
6. Paws Over Eyes: Your cat is blocking out light and doesn’t want to be disturbed.

Steps

Curled into a ball

1. Curling up is the natural way for cats to preserve their body heat. The curled-up sleep position is the cat equivalent of people sleeping on their backs—it’s sort of the default based on how your body is designed. Cats have extremely flexible spines, so they wrap themselves up in their own fur to help stay insulated and warm while they nap.^[1]
   
   • Cats also curl up in a ball because it helps protect all of the sensitive skin and internal organs in their tummy.
   • Fun fact! Cats learn to curl up in a ball as kittens before their full coats come in because they don’t have enough fur to stay as warm as they’d like to. This is also why kittens tend to love lying on laptops, batteries, vents, and sunlit windows—it’s all about staying warm!^[2]

On their back

1. If they’re exposing your tummy, your cat feels extremely safe around you. Your cat’s stomach is the most sensitive and vulnerable area, so if your kitty is sleeping in front of you with their delicate parts exposed, it’s a huge sign that they feel safe with you—according to feline behavior specialist Molly DeVoss, “a cat’s body language tells us a lot about what they are feeling.”^[3] Cats will usually only do this if they feel 100% safe and secure.^[4]
   
   • As tempting as it may be to give that exposed belly a quick rub, you’re likely to spook your cat if you wake them up by touching their tummy. Just beware if you’ve got a cat who likes to scratch!

On their side

1. Cats typically deep-sleep on their side. Side sleeping is a sort of “in-between” position for cats. It’s not curled up in a ball to protect their tummies, but it’s also not fully stretched out on their backs to leave their tummies exposed. So, a cat on their side feels safe around you, but they’re also sleeping in a position where they can hop up and run at a moment’s notice if something scary happens. This is why cats will usually end up unraveling or rolling up into a side sleeping position when they’re in a deep sleep—it’s a natural “medium” position for them.^[5]
   
   • You can tell if your cat is in their deep sleep cycle if their eyes flutter when they’re closed or if they twitch periodically while they sleep.^[6]

In a cat loaf

1. Your kitty is trying to keep their paws and legs warm by “loafing.”{endbold} A cat’s limbs don’t have the fur or fat that the rest of their body does, so tucking their legs and paws under their body helps keep them toasty. At the same time, the loaf position allows your cat to protect their tummy. They may still be feeling safe and secure, but it’s a more defensive position.^[7]
   
   • The loaf position also allows your cat to spring into action at any moment if they need to run or fight, especially if they’re in a half-loaf, half-crouch position. As DeVoss explains, “a crouched position can indicate that a cat is unsure of its surroundings.”^[8]
   • While they are protecting their stomachs, the loaf position is not a sign your cat is upset or nervous. This is more of a “better safe than sorry” situation, not an “oh boy, I better be ready to fight” thing.^[9]

In a Superman pose

1. Cats in the Superman pose are either cooling off or relaxing. The Superman pose—where your cat sticks their limbs out away from them—is usually just a sign of extreme relaxation. Like…Matthew McConaughey drinking Pinot Noir with Tom Hanks in front of a fireplace levels of chill. However, if it’s especially hot wherever you are, this could just be your kitty’s way of trying to cool off.^[10]
   
   • Are they in a sunny window or on a warm surface? Some cats like to do the Superman when they’re trying to stay warm if the environment is hotter than their tummy.

Sitting upright

1. Sleeping while sitting up can mean a number of things for kitties. There are four distinct reasons your cat might sleep while sitting up—in fact, it’s probably a combination of all four reasons. Here are the potential motivations:^[11]
   
   • Your cat fell asleep while grooming itself. Cats often sit upright when they’re licking their stomachs or legs to groom themselves.^[12] But grooming can be really hard work! Sometimes you’ve got to nap mid-grooming session to recharge.
   • Your cat is showing you that they trust you. Your cat’s tummy is their most vulnerable area, so showing you their stomach and falling asleep is a huge sign they’re comfortable with you.
   • Your cat is copying you. Cats often copy the behavior of the people they bond with, so if you’re being a bit of a couch potato your cat may simply be trying to fit in. Adorable, right?^[13]
   • Your cat is trying to cool off. Cats will sometimes prop themselves up when they’re hot to try and cool off.

Paws over eyes

1. Essentially, your cat is using its paws to block out light and sleep better. If you’ve ever laid down for a nap and forgot to close the blinds, you may have decided to just cover your eyes with your forearm. This is what your cat is doing when they fall asleep with their paws over their eyes. Sleeping is hard work for a cat so don’t break their concentration!^[14]
   
   • A lot of cats also do this as a way of saying, “Don’t mess with me while I’m sleeping—this is an essential nap.”

On an arm of furniture

1. A cat lying out on a furniture arm is a totally relaxing vibe. A lot of cats like to be up high to observe their surroundings. If your cat has fallen asleep on their favorite perching spot, it just means that they’re so comfortable they don’t feel the need to be alert.^[15]
   

Tucked in like a person

1. A tucked-in cat is just staying warm! This is one of the more straightforward sleeping positions—your cat likes to snuggle under the covers for the same reason people do. It’s warm and cozy! There’s also a small possibility that your cat is copying you when they do this, but it’s more likely that it’s just a good sleeping environment for them.^[16]
   

Like an acrobat

1. Cats sometimes sleep in weird positions when they’re in deep sleep. If your cat looks like an acrobatic contortionist when they sleep sometimes, it doesn’t usually mean anything unique. Cats are just super flexible and they move around a bit when they’re deep in sleep.^[17]
   
   • What if my cat looks uncomfy? Your cat would not be sleeping in a position where they’re intentionally uncomfortable, so if your kitty is splayed out in a weird posture that looks painful to you, it’s not. Just let them be.

At your feet

1. A cat who sleeps at your feet is trying to keep you warm and protect you. A person’s feet often get a little cold at night, so if you sleep barefoot your cat may be trying to help you out by donating some of their body heat. On top of that, the foot of the bed is a perfect vantage point if you want to keep an eye out for danger at night. Basically, what we’re trying to say is that your cat thinks they’re a rottweiler on guard duty while you snooze.^[18]
   
   • Other potential meanings: It’s also possible that your feet smell good to your cat for some reason. People get stinky feet, but cats like stinky sometimes.^[19]

Between your legs

1. Sleeping between your legs is your cat choosing to cuddle with you. Your legs are basically just heat-generating cushions for a cat, and when you’re lying down your legs naturally create a canyon that’s perfectly cat-shaped for maximum snoozing. As a result, your legs are a natural place for a cat trying to cuddle with their best friend and catch some Zs.^[20]
   

Behind your head

1. A cat sleeping behind your head loves you and (and likes your hair). If a cat were to sleep with you the same way that they slept with their littermates when they were a kitten, they’d probably choose the top of your head. Your hair is the closest thing to the texture of cat fur if you think about it. In other words, your cat is treating you like their best friend.^[21]
   
   • Does your cat ever chew on your hair or mess with it when they’re sleeping on your head? This is a soothing behavior for a lot of cats. They may also just want to play!^[22]

In a cat bed

1. Sleeping in a cat bed? You’ve raised a cat with some healthy boundaries!{endbold} If your cat likes their cat bed and they spend a ton of time sleeping in it, it’s a healthy sign that your cat understands “their space” vs. “your space.” Your cat would likely prefer sleeping with you or snoozing on top of your laptop keyboard, so the fact that they stick with their bed is a good sign of restraint. You’ve raised a very respectful kitty!^[23]
   
   • Should I get my cat a cat bed? If you feel like your cat struggles with boundaries or can’t handle your routine in a healthy way, a cat bed is a great idea. It’s 100% not mandatory though, your cat won’t be worse off without a bed.

In a cardboard box

1. Cats like boxes because they make them feel safe. In your cat’s head, a cardboard box is like body armor. They sit in it and the sides of the box protect their flanks while the base protects their stomach. They also get to keep an eye out from the top of the box!^[24]
   
   • This is also why cats tend to force themselves into containers that barely fit their bodies. The tightness of the box feels like great protection.

Near a window

1. You’ve got a watchdog kitty looking out for you if yours naps by the window! Cats like to sit on windowsills so they can look outside. It’s entertaining, it maintains their senses, it’s stimulating, and it scratches their itch to look for prey. So, why would a cat sleep in the windowsill when they can’t look out? They’re looking out for you! Your kitty wants to be the first one to know if anything dangerous or worrying happens outside so they can protect you.^[25]
   

On your chest

1. Your cat loves you more than life itself, so they’re sleeping near your heart! Anyone who has ever had a cat snuggle up to them and lie on their chest knows how special the moment can be. We have good news—your cat is just as much in love with you as you are in love with them. The chest nap is about as close as a cat can get to saying, “You’re the most important person in my life and I love you so much.”^[26]
   

With other cats

1. Sleeping with other cats is a comforting behavior cats learn as a kitten. This is the cat equivalent of a person sleeping in a bunk bed with pajamas on and a nightlight—it’s a nostalgic thing from your cat’s past. Kittens pile up and sleep together when they’re young to stay warm and feel secure. This kind of behavior carries over into adulthood for a lot of cats. They feel safe among their friends and they’re trying to stay warm and cozy.^[27]
   

With a dog

1. If they're cuddling up with a dog, your cat is sleeping with their best friend. Cats and dogs not getting along is one of those tropes that gets oversold a bit. In reality, cats and dogs can get along just fine. If your cat likes to snooze next to your dog, it’s just a sign that they’re good friends who get along swimmingly.^[28]
   
   • Sleeping is basically a dog’s favorite thing to do. Coincidentally, it’s also a cat’s favorite thing to do. The fact that they’re choosing to do their favorite things together is basically the biggest sign you could ask for that your pets are best buds.

Eyes open

1. Sleeping eyes open means a cat is keeping an eye out for danger. If your cat sleeps with their eyes open (even partially open), they’re resting while keeping an eye out for any intruders or predators. Cats don’t need to go into a deep sleep to rest, and the eye-open cat nap is a kind of middle-ground between sleeping and staying alert.^[29]
   

Hiding

1. A cat that hides to sleep is adjusting to a new space or needs medical help. Cats hide for two reasons—they’re scared, or they’re in pain. If you’ve just moved, you got a new pet, friends are visiting, or something else has changed in your cat’s environment, they’re probably just anxious.^[30] If nothing is new in your cat’s routine though, it indicates something may be wrong medically. See a vet to get your cat checked out.^[31]
   
   • Is my cat hiding if they sleep with their head against a wall? No, but this is still cause for concern. If your cat sticks their head against the wall, a pillow, or some other surface, it indicates they may have a serious neurological or viral condition. See a vet ASAP.^[32]

In the litter box

1. If your cat is sleeping in (or near) their litter box, they may need to see a vet. Cats don’t naturally want to spend time where they go to the bathroom, so it’s a big red flag if your cat is sleeping in or next to their litter box. It’s likely that your cat has a UTI, constipation, trouble holding urine, or a bladder blockage. These are medical emergencies, so see your veterinarian as soon as possible.^[33]

Tips

• Wondering why cats sleep in so many different positions? Cats sleep around 16 hours a day, so there are a lot of opportunities for them to try out unique sleeping setups. On top of that, cats are natural predators which means they’re comfortable sleeping in a variety of different ways (unlike prey animals, that hide when they sleep).
• Cats experience deep REM cycles the same way humans do. This means that cats almost certainly dream!^[34]
• Excessive sleep can be a sign of hypothyroidism, deafness, or kidney disease in cats. If you cat sleeps a worrying amount, see a veterinarian.^[35]

Trick Questions for Kids

1. Entertain (and challenge) kids with less complex trick questions.

Trick Questions for Adults

1. Test adults with more complicated and elaborate trick questions. Adults have had more time to learn, collect knowledge, and develop their brainpower—so they can handle the questions that might make a younger child give up. If you’re an adult (or you’re posing trick questions to an adult), try some of these:
   
   • What can’t talk but always replies?
     An echo.
   • An electric train is moving north at 100 mph, and a wind is blowing to the west at 10 mph. Which way does the smoke blow?
     There is no smoke with an electric train.
   • Can a man legally marry his widow’s sister in Mississippi?
     No—the man is dead, so he can’t marry anyone.
   • What can fill a room but take up no space?
     Light.
   • What falls but never breaks, and what breaks but never falls?
     Night falls and day breaks.
   • Is it correct to say, “the yolk of eggs is white” or “the yolk of eggs are white”?
     Neither. Egg yolks are yellow.
   • What’s one question nobody can honestly say “no” to?
     “Are you awake?”
   • Every single person at a restaurant got sick, except for two people who were completely fine. How is that possible?
     The two people were a couple, meaning they weren’t single.

     Water.

     Edam.
   • What has 13 hearts but no other organs?
     A deck of cards.
   • How can you spell enemy using only three letters?
     Foe (a synonym for enemy).

Classic Trick Questions

1. Solve old-school trick questions that have been around for decades. Are you familiar with the “classics”? Classic trick questions are usually a little more well-known, but if there’s a question here you don’t recognize, see if you can make sense of it.
   
   • What invention lets you look right through a wall?
     A window.
   • What’s more useful when it’s broken?
     An egg.
   • What kind of bow can’t be tied?
     A rainbow.
   • What’s easy to life but hard to throw?

   • What goes up and down but stays in the same place?
     A staircase.
   • I’m a god, a planet, and a measurer of heat. Who am I?
     Mercury.

Trick Trivia Questions

1. See how much you know about world and culture trivia facts. Not all trick questions are elaborate riddles and imagined scenarios; plenty of trick questions fall under the trivia category. For example, are you an expert on different kinds of animals? How well do you know world geography? Test yourself with the following trivia questions:
   
   • Where is the world’s largest desert?
     Antarctica
   • In what section of the food pyramid do eggplants belong?
     The fruit section, as eggplants are technically considered a fruit.
   • What’s the capital of Singapore?
     Singapore (it’s an island city-state).
   • What continent covers all four hemispheres?
     Africa
   • Which of these is closer to a dinosaur: a chicken or a pterodactyl?

How to Body Language Signs a Guy Wants to Kiss You

Decipher exactly how a guy looks and acts before he kisses you

There’s nothing like the anticipation before a first kiss with someone new—the butterflies in your stomach, the sweaty palms, and growing tension between you as you slowly inch closer to that smooch! If you’re interested in a guy but looking for signs that he wants to kiss you, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll list all the signs that a man is interested in kissing you, along with how you can respond to advances (or speed things along if there aren’t any!).

How to Tell If a Man Wants to Kiss You

1. He smiles and makes eye contact.
2. He looks at your lips or licks his own.
3. He briefly touches you or brushes against you.
4. He speaks in a softer and lower tone.
5. He tells you that he wants to kiss you.

Steps

15 Physical Signs a Guy Wants to Kiss You

1. He has an open stance with a friendly smile. If a guy is interested in and happy to be around you, then he’ll probably stand with a friendly and inviting posture. He’ll uncross his arms, stand with his feet apart, and turn his entire body toward you. He’ll probably put a wide smile on his face—after all, he’s happy to see you!^[1]
   
2. He slowly gets closer and closer to you. Did your date suddenly lean forward to bring your faces closer together, or is he slowly scooting nearer to you in your shared restaurant booth? If your man is inching closer and closer to you throughout the night, then he may be testing the waters.^[2]
   
   • If you move away, for instance, then that gives him a clear sign that you’re not interested. If you match his closeness, however, you’re showing him that you want to kiss him as well.
3. He seems nervous and fidgety. If a guy wants to kiss you but is too scared or nervous, he may start stumbling over his words (or his feet!). Watch for fidgeting with his hands, pockets, or whatever he’s holding. Licensed psychologist Sarah Schewitz, PsyD, adds that a guy who’s interested in you “might get red or flushed or start moving a part of his body or touching or scratching a part of his body. [He might also] clench his jaw, and you'll see his jaw muscle moving.” ^[3]
   
   • Not only do these physical signs show that your man likes you enough to be nervous, but they also show that he’s on the edge of his seat with excitement to kiss you!
4. He initiates physical contact through “accidental” and non-accidental touches. When a man is attracted to you, he’ll start to build up sexual tension through little touches, brushes, and feels. For example, a guy who wants to kiss you might pick something up at the same time as you, brush his leg against yours, or wipe some food off the corner of your lip.^[4]
   
   • If he’s being a bit more forward, he might brush the hair out of your eyes or kiss you in less-intimate places like your hand, cheek, or forehead.
5. He makes consistent eye contact with you. If your man can’t stop gazing into your eyes, then that’s a pretty good sign that he wants to kiss you. Not only is he probably mesmerized by your beauty, but he may be trying to seem more confident by asserting flirtatious eye contact. All signs point to a smooch in your future!^[5]
   
6. He keeps glancing down at your lips. When he’s not staring into your eyes, this guy might constantly be shifting his gaze to your lips. He may be doing this subconsciously, or he may be pairing his downward glances with a mischievous look to let you know that his mind is on your lips.^[6]
   
   • If you’re looking for signs that a guy wants a kiss over text, he might send kissy-face or lip-related emojis over text. Since he can’t glance at your lips in person, these flirty emojis are his way of saying that he’s thinking about kissing you. 😘🫦💋^[7]
7. He licks his lips while making eye contact with you. One of the most convincing signs that a man wants to kiss you is him repeatedly licking his lips while looking at you. He may be doing this subconsciously to add moisture to his lips—as he’s already visualizing kissing you in his mind. Or, he may be licking his lips to send you a signal that he wants a kiss. Either way, you can be fairly certain that there’s a smooch in your future.^[8]
   
   • You may also catch him applying Chapstick while making eye contact with you—applying moisturizer to his mouth may be his way of letting you know that his lips are prepped and ready to go!
8. He softens and lowers his voice. Because bass-like voices are typically associated with masculinity, some men may subconsciously deepen their voices when they’re trying to be more seductive and sensual.^[9] A soft voice is also connected to intimacy and proximity. So if your man’s voice takes on a soft, deep, and husky overtone while you’re talking, then he may be trying to put the moves on you.^[10]
   
9. He checks his breath or pops a mint. This sign may be hard to spot since most guys will check their breath once you’re turned away or occupied with someone else. However, if you do notice him raising a hand to check his breath or randomly chomping on a piece of gum, then he may be preparing himself to kiss you. Green flag that he doesn’t want you to experience any stinky garlic breath!
   
10. He turns on the charm and dials up the flirtiness. Guys may always throw out sweet compliments and cheesy pickup lines, but they’ll lay the flirtation on thick in the moments leading up to a (hopeful kiss). Your guy will probably start complimenting your physical attributes in a forward and genuine way. For example, he may say flirty lines like:
    
    • “Every time I see you, your smile brightens my day.”^[11]
    • “I love that lip gloss on you.”
    • “Your skin looks so soft and smooth.”
    • “Sorry if I seem distracted, I really can’t stop looking at your eyes.”
    • “You look so stunning that it’s making me nervous.”
    • If you’re looking for signs that a guy wants a kiss over text, he may send similar compliments over instant messaging to hint that he wants to kiss you the next time he sees you.
11. He notices little things about you, like your perfume or nail color. Stereotypically, men aren’t particularly known for their high attention to detail. However, if your potential peck partner is commenting on little things about you (like your fragrance, nail color, shoes, or hairstyle), then his focus is definitely all on you.^[12] And if you’re all he’s thinking about, then at least some of those thoughts likely involve a kiss!
    
    • If you’re looking for signs that a guy wants a kiss over text, this same meaning might come through in behaviors like sending you long texts or responding really quickly to your messages. Basically, you’re his top priority, and he’s only focused on you.
12. He starts to get quiet. If you’ve been having a lively and flirtatious conversation when your guy suddenly goes quiet, then this may be a sign that he wants to kiss you. After all, you can’t lock your lips while those very same lips are busy yapping away! He may be working up the nerve to kiss you, or he’s attempting to create a lull in conversation that’ll give him the opportunity to lean in and go for it.
    
13. He lingers or delays his departure. If you’re on a date with a guy and the night is wrapping up, he might awkwardly linger after saying his goodbyes. This awkward pause is likely caused by him trying to decide whether you’re open to a kiss—but he definitely wants one. You can make your position clear by giving him a light touch and telling him you want to kiss him or saying goodnight and walking away.^[13]
    
14. He sets the mood with sexy music or lighting. If a guy is really wanting to kiss you, he may go the extra mile to romance you first. For example, he might invite you on a date and bring you to a romantic or sentimental setting. He may further set the mood by bringing you flowers, lighting candles, or putting on mood music.^[14]
    
15. He tells you that he wants to kiss you. And finally, the clearest sign that a man wants to kiss you is that he tells you directly. He may come right out and say, “I really want to kiss you,” or “Can I kiss you?” He might also say something more indirect like, “I’ve been thinking about kissing you all night.”^[15] If he makes one of these statements, there should be no doubt left in your mind that he wants to kiss you!
    
    • If you’re looking for signs that a guy wants a kiss over text, then this same rule applies! If a guy texts you something like “I really want to kiss you” or “I can’t stop thinking about our next kiss,” then he definitely wants to give you a smooch.

How to Respond When a Guy Wants to Kiss You

1. Decide if you want this guy to kiss you, then act accordingly. Even if a man is showing all the signs that he’s dying to kiss you, you still get to decide whether or not you want to kiss him. If you do want to kiss him, go for it! Initiate the kiss yourself or invite him to with a teasing “Are you ever gonna kiss me?” or a more direct “Do you want to kiss me?”
   
   • If you don’t want to kiss him, simply say “no.” You don’t need to give him a reason. If he tries to pressure or persuade you into a kiss, continue to say “no” and remove yourself from the situation as soon as possible.^[16]
   • If you’re not sure about the kiss, you could ask him more questions about his intentions before making your decision. For example, you could ask him why he wants to kiss you or what kind of kiss he’s thinking of (e.g., a French kiss or a chaste peck).

How to Signal That You Want a Guy to Kiss You

1. Give him flirty signs like touching his hands or talking about kissing. You can always just tell a guy directly that you want him to kiss you, but some subtler options may be more your speed! If you want to give a guy the cue to kiss you, touch him gently by stroking the back of his hand, playing with his watch, or moving close enough for your hands to “accidentally” brush against one another.^[17]
   
   • While you’re touching (or almost touching), make eye contact and soften your gaze. Then, move your gaze down to his lips and back up to his eyes to clearly express your desires (this is called the Triangle Method!).
   • If these tactics don’t work, be a little bit more forward by purposefully reapplying your lipstick or lip gloss in front of him. Or, work the word “kiss” into your conversation by asking him about his first kiss or telling him that he has great lips (so he’s probably a great kisser).
   • If the date night is ending and your man still hasn’t made a move, linger for a moment as you say your goodbyes, look up at him, and lean in slightly. If he still doesn’t kiss you, you can ask him directly if he wants to or just let it go for now.
