What your pet’s sleeping position says about them!

Do you talk in your sleep? You may snore or whisper, or you may even hold full conversations. Even if you don’t talk in your sleep, you’re still communicating with your body language. A withdrawn person may sleep curled up, while an outgoing person is likely to steal all the covers. We can reveal a lot about ourselves when we sleep.

The same thing goes for your little fluff ball. If your watch closely, you can gain just as many insights into your pet’s state of mind while they sleep. You may not be able to ask your cat if they’re cold or hot, but the way they act can tell you the answer. If they’re huddled in a ball, they may be cold, and if they’re or sleeping with their paws in the air they may be too warm.  

Since your cat sleeps between 10 to 15 hours a day, if you’re not paying attention to what they’re doing in their sleep, you may be missing a bunch of things your pet could be trying to tell you. So, keep an eye out for how your kitty sleeps to learn how to help them have a more restful sleep, and happier playtime.

For more insights into what your pet’s sleeping position means, check out this infographic below by Sleep Advisor.

    I love the graphic! My Husky Gibson was a belly up boy! Always made me feel good to know he was so happy and felt safe! My other four are side sleepers on their beds, except my boy Wolf who loves to sleep on his side up on my bed across my feet! And the funny thing is…I feel so much better and sleep better too when he is there! Great post!

      Dorothy,
      I’m glad you enjoyed this post! Aww Wolf’s sleeping pattern was similar to my Dusty that passed away. She love to sleep with my hubby and lie on his feet! It was so sweet to see them bond that way. I think that’s how he fell in love with her too.

    My dogs sleep in all those positions. In the winter they cuddle together and is super cute.

    They missed off the ‘cat lying on a chest all night one’ * sigh * My Paul wakes up super warm and often its because Sienna lies on his chest. Soe of the others are funny though.

    One that I think needs a wider interpretation is the cats eyes half open. Our late Dusty cat slept with his eyes half open and he was really asleep. A little senior boy who tired easily but he slept half open. Bless him

      I totally get what you mean.My first cat loved to sleep on my chest at night. Whew she was an 18 pound girl too! And same thing with MY Dusty too! Just like YOUR Dusty mine would often sleep with her eye slightly open. She’d be knocked out but look like she was faking! LOL Thanks for sharing your input!

    Seen all of these in the same dog! LOL although stuck to my ribs, laid out on their back seems the favourite.

    What does it mean that Ruby sleeps in all these positions! LOL. I guess that she feels different on different days. Our cats are the same way – they sleep in all these positions. Guess, just like us, they feel different every day of the week.

      I have to agree with you there! My cats Precious and Dusty used to sleep in several positions. I could definitely tell how content or annoyed they were by how they slept. 😉 They are complex like us humans.

    Love the infographic!! My cats and dogs sleeping positions were and are always designed to take up the most amount of space, leaving us as little room as possible!

    Layla sleeps on her side all the time and I love watching her sleep, it is so peaceful and she is just so relaxed. I actually have to coax her out of bed in the mornings LOL. She normally starts on the bed and then moves to her bed.

      I love watching animals sleep. It’s so calming and brings a smile to my face. Go figure!! They never want to sleep in the beds we buy for them right? LOL
