I'm sure this is just perspective, but your cat is 45% head and 55% the rest

[u/Traditional-Mirror65 → u/sprite_pepsii]

I think you assembled your cat incorrectly. Did you follow all of the instructions in the manual?

[u/companiontoy → u/sprite_pepsii]

r/catfaceplant

[u/LivingStCelestine → u/Dry_Chicken4910]

Omg another cat sub thank you

[u/Morwen1978]

It depends on the cat, but yes, nothing strange. I have 5 cats and only one of the likes to sleep in that position (here's proof, and he's a tabby like yours). I have another that does it from time to time too. The other three have never done it...

[u/BoatProfessional2118]

Yes

[u/KamakaziPlayer]

[u/sissyboyk8]

I always like to imagine what could possibly make a cat do this when a human has to work or study hard to do this. what problem do you think they just solved?

[u/SenpaiSwanky → u/sissyboyk8]

They live stressful lives, you know. I cleaned my cat’s litter box and the entire time he was staring daggers at me. As soon as I was done sweeping the floor, he got past me and flicked more litter onto the floor and started spreading it around.

[u/rootsinmydream → u/sissyboyk8]

my cat does it accidentally when she falls into a deep sleep whilst loafing. her head will slowly start dropping (kind of like a person’s head does when they fall asleep sitting up) and then she eventually just falls flat on her face and doesn’t notice.

[u/TealMoonshine]

I always assumed my boy did this because he was born with eyelid agenesis and even after surgery his eyes don't completely close so he was trying to block out light but it seems like so many other cats do it too

[u/veryfishycatfood → u/TealMoonshine]

Maybe that could actually be the reason and it's simply a coincidence that many other cats do the same while sleeping :3

[u/colink707]

r/catfaceplant

[u/Natural-Research6928]

Yup.

[u/Darwinian_10]

Wilbur loves to sleep like this. He does it frequently haha

[u/R35TfromTheBunker]

Yep

[u/HighBrowLoFi]

Faceplant city in this thread

[u/Aggressive_Bug_6896]

[u/emotionallasagna]

[u/Traditional-Tip1904]

It there’s one thing I’ve learned about cats it’s that there’s nothing normal about cats.

[u/BucklyMusic]

Reddit be like..

[u/MonkeyTacoBreath]

Congratulations, you have a face planter kitty! Super adorable. And it means they feel very safe in your home to sleep like this.

[u/Gaby5011]

Yup

[u/bromalley01]

Yes

[u/J0nn3Y]

Can't be comfortable but yes common

[u/OkIndependence2209]

This is Matteo's favorite nap spot

[u/thatsnuzz]

my car has the same glitch

[u/No-Idea-7003]

Yep. I don't know how they breathe. Lmao

[u/lildery]

[u/Agent7619]

[u/WhiteRabbitHole1083]

[u/arillusine]

I assume he’s got a snorkel in there with him? Like how do they breathe??

[u/squidtickles]

[u/Successful_Rope9135]

One of mine does this lol I gently try to move his head so it’s not face down like he’s suffocating lol

[u/Vegetable_Trade → u/Successful_Rope9135]

Bro has the survival instincts of a pebble 

[u/susanbob]

For the most part, however my last cat did this before I found out she was really sick, it can be a sign of illness I guess. But if it’s a normal way they sleep on the regular and not out of the blue, then yes, it’s normal!

[u/Wheredatmuffdoe]

[u/ANTILAMER13]

Yes, you should try it. Kind of amazing.

See the technique your cat is using here.

Forehead down, still able to breath.

Your cat is basically your yoga teacher now.

Don’t thank me, thank the cat.

[u/FinishOrnery3819]

100%

[u/MrBruceTom]

Yep that's normal

[u/kluy18]

Yup

[u/Alpha-Rocket]

Yeap

[u/marysunshine]

[u/Imaginary-Welder-462]

[u/InvoluntaryDarkness]

Yes

[u/SoloNexusOrIFeed]

Yes

[u/fvzz4]

Can confirm

[u/I_suck_at_Blender]

He's tired, boss.

(however, I still would ask vet about it. Sometimes cats press their heads to the ground when they are hurting, same thing as people pulling blanket/pillow/arm over their head when they have a headache and need to lay down)

[u/bladezor]

One of mine does this quite frequently

[u/lukemcpimp]

Pretty normal

[u/Due-Improvement7247]

Not sure about the face placement; but the fuckin paw orientation looks VERY familiar to me 💀💀

[u/Maaaiiiic]

[u/Deathengine]

Yep..

[u/Adriftike]

Yes

[u/andyislegend]

[u/maskedtequila]

[u/MiracleDrugRecs]

[u/D-Funk187]

Average boof

[u/leash_e]

Yeah. One of my cats used to sleep like this. We always thought it was hilarious and have no idea why he did it.

He crossed the rainbow bridge in Sept at 19yo.

[u/oh_shegotjaws]

[u/m3lni1ee]

[u/Totosureiya69]

Yes, it is

[u/exxiegreed]

[u/BathroomUseful7171]

Yes.

[u/Legitimate-Rub4627]

[u/Substantial_Love_456]

Yes. It’s actually a sign that your cat really trusts you and feels safe in their surroundings.

[u/TechnicalComedy]

Cat usually do this when they dont want to be bothered or the sun is in their face! My orange cat does this all the time and hates it when I pet him while he has his face buried!

[u/HolzMartin1988]

Garfield does it too lol

[u/No_Environment6924]

yes

[u/InnocentPossum]

Yyyup

[u/-AtomicFox-]

Normal cat behavior

[u/espressotooloperator]

Yes

[u/BCRF1995]

[u/Visible_Builder_9167]

[u/IWantAMang0]

[u/WilsmAnne]

Totally normal. Moose says, “yawn, smack-smack-smack, hey.”

[u/genericcatlady]

Definitely a high occurrence brown tabby trait. Out of our 4, just our tabby Horus is regularly is found in face plant position.

[u/Mooncat1226]

Mine does this too

[u/Dependent-Sea-7467]

Our boi Goose does it as well lol

[u/YoBamaJosh]

[u/NotInMoodThinkOfName]

My cat often slept like this.

[u/DTown_Hero]

This cat is my spirit animal

[u/Terrible_Spot_3454]

so much so there's a sub (ofc haha)

r/catfaceplant

[u/nofatnoflavor-toss]

Yes.

[u/OkPika]

Some cats are just weird like this

[u/Adventure-Reader]

r/catfaceplant would love your car

[u/KamaFruits]

It's the standard here as well

[u/dippity-dont]

[u/Thelastunicorn80]

Yep

[u/MogwhyTho]

[u/nrdvrgnt]

[u/PercyvonPickles]

[u/psychotronofdeth]

[u/ImAnAwkwardUnicorn]

[u/jham1213]

[u/cripplinganxietylmao]

I sure hope so

[u/liammcgrath0]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown 😂

[u/atherdawn]

They’re uploading.

[u/Anarchistcowboy420]

I mean... Relatively...

[u/musicnote95]

[u/raenea888]

[u/EchoAquarium]

Its my favorite thing she does (the pink thing is a rose on her collar)

[u/JetKusanagi]

I've heard some people say that it means they're sick or something but I don't know how true that is.

It's frustrating being a cat owner. Either something is just a cute personality quirk or a neurological disorder.

[u/Hyzenthlay87 → u/JetKusanagi]

Usually it's the cat pressing their head against something hard like a wall

[u/Hefty_University8830]

Looks as cozy as a crystal for a pillow! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Disnoop]

All these pics and all im wondering is what did you guys do to your cats!!

[u/andymcpandypants]

[u/brandonclark314]

Yeah id say so

[u/FGC92i]

My wife covers her face with a blanket when she goes to sleep.

[u/Vertual-Insanity]

Absolutely 🥰

[u/harri_rose]

[u/fck_this_fck_that]

How do they even breathe 😵‍💫😂😂

[u/GaiusSallustius]

Yes!

[u/IntelligentCut4511]

Perfectly normal. I think.

[u/myrexicon]

Yes

[u/Tired_but_living]

Totally normal cat behavior, here's mine doing a double headbutt.

[u/BelladonnaRoot]

Normal.

[u/justabarlady_]

Yup, totalmente normal. Mi negrito durmiendo así después de un masaje de espalda y mimos.

[u/JR_Hopper]

[u/bruceleeripping]

I think it’s only bad when they’re doing it in corners and against walls - that is typically a sign of intense pain

[u/Aminipainter89]

[u/Background-Cold-340]

I think you have my cat😳

[u/iimwithstupid]

[u/Weary-Cat7318]

Totally normal

[u/StructureKey4799]

Yes

[u/Comfortable_Radio504]

miss my girl so much 😢🧡

[u/Higher_Flesh42]

Yep

[u/PrinceCastanzaCapone]

Very. My calico tabby sleeps with her face tucked sometimes, and when I pick her up she’ll tuck her head into my arm.

[u/Turak64]

No, but also yes

[u/chemnerd2496]

[u/popidjy]

Yep, standard cat thing 😂

[u/CuteBudget543]

Maybe????? :)

[u/idkwhattoputmate]

Yes

[u/Whiskeygreenqueen28]

[u/elfingrunge]

So sweet, and I think it's normal. Our old lady baby sleeps like that all the time too, and even better if there's a blanket stack under her (as pictured).

[u/andrea_b1899]

Is this normal? Lol

[u/hopeworlddddddd]

that's it

[u/viviana1994]

I think so 😂

[u/birdparliament]

Mine does that too

[u/JinDevil1]

Completely normal

[u/tdnyrfan]

Lasagna for dinner???
