Mine does that when he is tired and about to crash, but he doesn't want to miss any of the "action"... you know, the kind of exciting stuff that happens around here, like when I change the TV channel, or get up to pour a cup of coffee.

He will sit up like that for a while, trying unsuccessfully to keep his eyes open, while watching me and waiting for me to do something exciting. Eventually, he will realize how tired he is and go take a proper nap.

It's all because of you Kwik and your determination, patience, persistence, and most importantly unconditional love.
Timmy is proof that it is possible to bring in a feral kitty. You just have to be willing to put the work in. Then, when you do put in the work consistently and nonstop, the payoff for the person and the scared little feral kitty is amazing!

Kwik thank you for giving Timmy a fair, fighting chance at having a domesticated home life. Where he feels loved, safe, and can finally be relaxed. The best part is he isnt alone anymore, he is safe indoors, he is loved, actually you know what.. every part of Timmy's story is the best part.
He knows he is loved. His little life has been forever changed for the best because of you Kwik. Thank you again. You are amazing.
Much love to you and your fur family!!!

I don't know how many times I've looked at my cat sleeping and thought, "How can he be comfortable like that?"

Willy often sleeps with his neck crammed into corners, so he is sleeping with his neck bent at a 90-degree angle. For example, he will sleep on the end of the couch up against the arm, with his neck bent 90-degrees upward against the arm.

My mom's cat often sleeps with half her body hanging off the edge of the cat tree, including her head.

Fun fact: because smaller animals have much less blood volume than us (substantially less, due to the square-cube law), they can tolerate being upside down much better than we can. They don't experience the same thing we do, where blood pools in our heads very quickly and intracranial pressure skyrockets. That's how bats can live most of their lives upside-down.

Yeah, and I wake up with a painfully stiff neck that lasts all day if I sleep even slightly off. I feel sore just looking at him when he sleeps that way.
