sleeping

Dogs are pretty good at tiring themselves out, especially after a day of doing zoomies around the park. When they do fall asleep, it can happen instantly. And that means that sometimes they fall asleep in the weirdest, most awkward positions. We don't know how they can sleep like that, but somehow they manage it. And it's hilarious to see. For more funny animal photos, have a look at these dogs that are dressed better than you. 

So, we all know that dogs are kinda weird, right? In the most loveable ways of course! Them being such adorable weirdos is part of why we love them so much. It makes us laugh and smile with nothing but glee, warming our hearts. And boy oh boy, we sure do get the funniest pictures out of it. 

These pictures are of doggos sleeping just like weirdos they are - in the strangest positions possible. It doesn't look comfortable, but we still understand. The weirdest sleeping position really is sometimes the most comfortable sleeping position. Honestly, thank goodness they can't take pictures us the way we do of them.

Sometimes, animal mommas need breaks too. And when they're babies are too tired to walk on their own, other animals and humans come to the rescue. Such is the case with these donkey nannies carrying newborn little lambs on their especially-made saddles, and the lambs look so content and happy, we cannot help but smile. 

Laying in their little pockets and looking ready for a nap, these little lambs are some of the most adorable we've ever seen. Each one of them has the cutest itty bitty face in the world, and their mommas look just as happy as their lambs to finally be getting their well-earned break.

Have you ever been overtaken by the feeling of just wanting to crawl under your blankets and stay there for a while? Cozying up under them in the morning, not wanting to get up for work? We know you have. It's a universal feeling that everyone understands. 

That feeling becomes even more intense though when you have an animal snuggled up with you. Nothing is more difficult than getting up from under your blankets when your dog - who's technically not supposed to even be on your bed - jumps up to cuddle you in the morning. But, at least you can be assured, when you are at work, that your pupper is getting the snuggles that you want so desperately. At least one of you should.

We hope you enjoy these warm and snuggly doggos from r/TuckedInPuppies as much as we do and that you have an amazing weekend!

Cats have the weirdest habit of sleeping in the most uncomfortable ways, but the faceplant - that one might be the most iconic. 

It's as adorable as it is concerning. How do you breathe like that, cat? Are you okay? Have you had a rough day? Can I help you? But in reality, cuteness wins over, and we'd never actually move our cat from this ridiculously uncomfortable-looking sleeping position. I mean, we've seen cats chilling on eggs before, this really shouldn't be that surprising...

And of course, thank you to the subreddit r/catfaceplant for providing us with this quality cat faceplanting content. All of you are doing important work of keeping cat entertained day by day lol. 

Is there anything that makes you happier than when your pet shows you love, trust and affection? Personally, it's one of the things that makes me the happiest in the world. One of the best ways to see that love and affection, of course, is when your kitty comes to sleep in your bed at night. It's a show of trust not just from the cat but from you too, closing your eyes next to each other like that, and that only brings the two of you closer. 

Having your cat curl up next to you is one of the purest, most wholesome things in the world, but seeing your baby curled up with your cat might be even more cuter. Prepare yourself, the cat tweets you're about to see are so cute and heartwarming you might just get an inexplicable urge to immediately go hug your cat.

Cats certainly sleep a lot. That's really no surprise to anyone. However, has anyone ever taken a moment to think about what our sleeping angels might be thinking of just before they drift to slumberland? Sure, it can be thoughts about how much love food, or if they're like us, how much they love sleeping (just before sleeping). Or perhaps they have deeper thoughts. Thoughts of taking over your household and/or infiltrating a secret organization to take over the world. 

You know, cat things. Or maybe, just maybe, those thoughts could just be of you. Their favorite person in the world... who also cleans their litter box regularly and feeds them multiple times a day. 

In collaboration with popular Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we explore the deep and interesting thoughts we believe cats would have before falling into one of their daily 18 naps.

What sort of thought would your cat have before falling asleep? Share with us in the comments below! 

Oh... to be a cat is something one could only dream of. The ability to not pay rent, not work, people bring you food, you can sleep allllll day long. Jealous. We're jealous of our own cats sometimes. But one thing we're particularly jealous of is the absolutely supernatural ability that cats have to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. 

There is nothing worse than having a long day and knowing that tomorrow is a long day, then not being able to fall asleep at night. If we could only have a sprinkle of our cats ability to randomly fall asleep in our plant, we would be fixed for life. 

Well... for now, we can only watch and admire. A nice bonus though is that cats falling in the most uncomfortable positions is heckin' hilarious.

The Zzz's are coming in hard and fast! It's pointless trying to fight off the inevitable, we are long overdue for a midday nap! 

We know what you're thinking, there's so much that needs to get done, there is simply no time for a nap. And honestly, we understand, but consider this: you've been working so hard for so long, we all deserve to treat ourselves once in a while and a nap is one of the greatest treats we can give our exhausted and overworked bodies. 

And if that doesn't convince you, then perhaps these sleepy pets below can persuade you to feel otherwise. 

This is one of the cutest Twitter threads we've seen in a while! Cat beds that are actually being used by cats? What is this dark magic? 

As a cat owner, we know cats generally don't sleep in whatever bed you tend to buy for them but will spend countless hours inside an old cardboard box. Yet, for some reason, the cat bed from IKEA is changing things up! 

Twitter user @MaudFeijt recently created an adorable little bedroom for her two cats, complete with two beds from IKEA. She shared the photos on Twitter and the tweet soon went viral as others began sharing their IKEA beds for their pets. 

We have a theory, stick with us on this one. What if cats are so intelligent that a regular cat bed is an insult to them? What if the fact that the IKEA bed is a miniature version of our beds is the reason they like it so much? They see themselves as our equals and therefore deserve the same style bed as we have. But then again, the whole cardboard box thing sends this theory into the garbage. 

Think of the last time that you were so relaxed you just... let all of your muscles loosen and laid down in absolutely whichever position you've found yourself in. Maybe you were starfished on your back, maybe you were flat on your face, maybe you put your arm over your head in just the right position and didn't care if it was going to fall asleep because of it. Ladies and gentleman, that means that you, too, have experienced The Sploot. 

Animals are the sploot connoisseurs. Dogs have mastered it, and now, cats must show their skills as well. The following pictures are ones to learn from. Doesn't matter that the week has just started, you have to learn to remember to relax and do the sploot every once in a while, just like these very talented cats.
