The Weird Places Where Cats Sleep: Pans, Bowls and More Odd Resting Spots

Our cat can sleep in some really weird places. You ask, why did he pick that spot? Every time you think that he has picked the weirdest place, he will find an even better one. Not only is it the place that he sleeps, but the position he sleeps in is really weird. He changes sleeping places throughout the day, too. It's really entertaining just to watch him. The following is a list of places that my cat has picked to sleep. I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I have watched him sleeping there.

Candy Bowl
My husband put our Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters in a large orange plastic bowl. Our cat watched all the activity going on at the front door Halloween night. Seeing all the children dressed up in their costumes and taking candy out of that bowl all night long was really exciting for him. The next day, with some Halloween candy still in the bowl, Snooks, the cat, decided that it was just the perfect spot for him to take a nap. We thought that it was so funny him sleeping in that bowl. All the kids had to take a picture of him with their cell phone. My daughter used the picture for her screensaver.

Metal Pan
When Snooks was a kitten, he loved to sleep in my pots and pans. It didn't matter what size they were. He started sleeping in the big one first. He then graduated to the small sauce pan. If a pan wasn't available, he would sleep in a skillet. He loved to take naps in all of them.

Kitchen Chair
Snooks like to sit up on a chair, turned around backwards with his front feet crossed over the back of the it. He looks very uncomfortable. He will assume this position when he wants to see what's going on in the kitchen. Every time someone passes him, they will pet him. It's a good way to get attention. Sometimes, he will fall asleep sitting like this.

Computer Chair
Snooks will see a vacancy in my computer chair. I will be cooking supper and he thinks that this chair is the best spot in the house to sleep. Or I can just leave the computer for a minute, and he will take over my chair. Sometimes, he will jump in my lap and take a nap while I'm typing. Have you ever typed with a cat in your lap? It's really difficult to do.
