Another surprising thing about cats is how flexible they are. The cat can sleep in every single pose which they think it is considered a very extreme resting position.
“Their spine rotates far more than ours does, and they have special cushioned discs between the vertebrae.” – Celia revealed.
She also added: “They also don’t have a collar bone attached to their shoulder blade. Instead, their shoulder blade is attached to the rest of the body with muscles, not bone.”

Lastly, their sleeping positions also depend on the temperature. “If it is cold, cats that are friends probably sleep with more of their bodies touching.” Celia added. How about if it’s hot? Furry belly is on duty!
