sleeps on his back

My cat does! I regularly find her on the couch, on the bed, or just in a corner on the floor with her belly up and paws sticking in the air. I've read that cats will only sleep like that if they're in an environment they're very comfortable in, because belly-up is a vulnerable position. I noticed that my cat didn't sleep on her back nearly as often when we had another cat around.

my cat does too... first one of them started doing it, now the other one... he looks very cute when he sleeps on his back... so cute that i just have to come over and hug him... he doesn't mind being woken up though...

I don't have cats but my dogs both sleep on their sides all stretched out. They don't look very big, and they aren't, but when they stretch out they take up most of the bed and don't leave me much room!

Our cats sometimes sleep on their backs. It depends. We pet them and they roll on their backs for kitty belly rubs.

It's a good thing. It means your cat feels very safe and happy. Take it as a compliment.

Both of my cats sleep on their backs.

Joe lays on his back and pulls his legs up close and folds his front paws up together and sleeps like that.

Russell just flops down on his back with all 4 legs going every which way. He especially likes to sleep like this in chairs.

Yes all four of my cats sleep on their backs with their legs up in the air. They usually have their backfeet toes curled up too. They are so cute when they sleep this way with their stomachs exposed. Sometimes they use one front paw to cover their nose. This comes from the forest cats that slept in the wild and while they slept they protected their nose from getting eaten by rats.

Thank you for posting this, after reading others responses here I feel so much better LOL I was beginning to think my cat thought he was a dog LOL! My Orange tabby loves to lay on his back and sleep with all fours up in the air he's such a goof! Then when we rub his belly he goes wild just like a dog does rolling back and forth turning side to side just crazy but I love it. He makes me laugh:) Glad to know my cat is not the only goofy belly boy!

Oh yeah! I have two cats and one of them loves sleeping on her back sometimes. Especially when she's on my lap. She'll lay on her back and bury her head between my arm and my side. It's so cute! The other one will sometimes lay on her back, but not as much as the one.

Hi there,
My cat also sleep on his back, I heard from a friend that cat sleep like that means he completely in sleep and feel safe about things around him, dont worry about that.

they usually only do that when it's really hot-i guess for the full belly draft
i used to have an angora type who always slept like that.but being long
haired,he was probably always that hot.

you want odd-my tux cat used to sleep with his eyes open when he was less than a year old.scared the piss out of me when he did that.
