sleeps on his back

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

One of my four often sleeps on her back with her front legs out over her head. She's totally relaxed when she's like that.

I've had several cats lay on their backs - a lot. It does show a lot of comfort and trust to "expose" themselves like that. Aren't you glad you can provide Boots with an environment where he feels that safe.

Our cat, Sleepy, likes to lie on his back a lot. I've always thought that he was just showing off, rather than sleeping. Waiting for a belly rub, though, I know he is not. Touching his belly is a good way to get bitten by this usually very affectionate and easy going cat.

Our cat does that, too!

Our cat Panther sleeps on her back, and her back legs flop open. She looks so cute.

I have a cat called Snowy. She like to seel on her back sometime with her head to the side and legs spreed wide apart. She really does look funny.

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!

My dog Lily likes to sleep on her back, her front paws crossed & her ears spread out (she`s a Lab mix). My cat Quincy will go up to a wall & throw himself against it as he sort of rolls over. He ends up on his back, but needs the wall to hold him up, otherwise he flops over. He also likes to sleep on my feet, especially if I`ve been out for too long. I think he wants to make sure I`ll stay put for a bit.

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.

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.
