Animals That Pass Out in the Strangest Sleeping Positions

If you’ve been the proud owner of a pet, then you know all too well the hilarious positions that they can get themselves into when they’re fast asleep. You probably have somewhere approaching 1,000 pictures of them in said positions…ya know, the ones you show all your friends and family until they not so discreetly start shifting their attention to someone anyone else in the room. We’ve all been there and yes, it always is different when it’s our own pet because, after all, they are the most funny and interesting creatures in all the land. Just ask us!

We’ve compiled a hysterical series of pictures showing animals that are so tired, that they had to pass out in the the strangest sleeping positions and locations. All of them are good but #28 had us laughing out loud.

It looks like someone told this dog he was fit as a fiddle, and he thought they said to go fit like a fiddle. Seems like an honest mistake to us!

This little corgi puppy had way too long of a day and needed some serious shut eye. We’re wondering if he’s dreaming about performing the most perfect pencil dive. If so… nailed it!

Meowmix is sick and tired of her hooman playing with his light box. She is mainly tired, though. This sleeping position should do the trick and cease all light box activities at once.

Gravity really makes this cute boy smile! While this doesn’t look very comfortable to us, this dog seems very happy with his awkward sleeping position.Are those his back feet by his shoulders? Hmmmm

 cat on a rack

Introducing the all-in-one laundry drying and cat sleeping rack. This brings a whole new meaning to the term fluff and fold! I can’t imagine the sleeping lines this cat is going to have when he wakes up.

It’s like when you fall but you don’t have enough time to put your hands in front of your face so you just crater into the ground and then just stay there and pretend you’re invisible. We know the feeling, little guy!

Perhaps, this dog had the intention of getting off the couch to go take a nap on his doggie bed but in the middle of it, he thought, “ehhhh, better not. This seems sufficient.” Or perhaps, he might have gotten himself a tad stuck. Life isn’t easy when you’re so low to the ground!

This contortionist deserves to be in the circus! Or maybe, she’s just taking her yoga game really really seriously.

This cutie pie is all buckled up and ready to go…for a long nap. We are loving the owner’s ability to take “safety first” to a whole new level. Click it or ticket, dontchya know!

Strangest Sleeping Position - Dog falls off couch
Source

He was napping next to his pal on the couch when he saw a big, comfy pillow on the floor. The obvious next move was clearly the result of what you see here. Head on pillow, arse on couch.

Cat In a Rack

Sometimes you have to catch your nap wherever you can, even if it’s on this uncomfortable-looking metal window grate.

Big dog, small space? No problem for this golden retriever who thinks this tight space is just right for his nappy time.

cat sleeping next to radiator
Source

This little kitty thought this radiator would be just the purr-fect place to take a nice cat nap. Look how he straddles the pipe and snuggles up into his new favorite little nook.

feet straight up
Source

We’re liking the whole sitting position while laying down thing that this dog has seemed to have perfected. We have to admit, it is easy to fall asleep in strange positions on road trips. Cars will do that to you.

“If I could just squeeze my body through this opening, I’ll feel safe…oh, my…that was way too much work. I’m just going to take a quick napper doodle and be back at it in now time.”

Cat through tissue box
Source

This sweet cat maybe used to fit in small boxes like this and was just trying to prove it to himself that he still could. Although he can no longer fit inside the box, he is fitting through the box quite nicely. So nicely, that he thought it sufficient for an afternoon nap spot. Experiment concluded.

dog on two couches

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. This clever pup found a very inventive and very unusual way to fall asleep as a couch-bridge.

kitty face plant
Source

Hmmm, has this little kitty been hitting the catnip a little too hard? Or maybe he just realized that tomorrow’s Monday… Either way, we think his face-plant sleeping position is really quite adorable.

Cat in food bowl
Source

So much food, this kitty didn’t know what to do with himself so he decided to sleep on it. When he wakes up, he’ll have a better plan for devouring the rest.

Strange Sleeping Positions - basset hound in flower pot

No bed? No problem for this clever basset hound who turned two flower pots into his own cool crib.

Cat sleeping under large dog ear
Source

This adorably odd duo seem to enjoy each other’s company so much that they even sleep together. The hound is even willing to share his ear as a blanket for the cold little kitten and in return, he gets lulled to sleep by the sweet purr of a new baby kitten. Perfect symbiosis.

Kitten making copies
Source

We’re not sure what kind of prank this kitten was trying to pull but he must have been at it all night since he slept in the copier machine…again. Crazy Cat Lou, always willing to do whatever it takes for a laugh. Get back to work, kitty!

Strangest Sleeping Positions

Ever have one of those days when you’re so tired that you’re sure you could fall out of bed and land on your head and still not wake up? Well, then you can probably relate to this poor pup.

cat on door

The balance this kitty has while snoozing is quite impressive. Perhaps, he kitty was put in charge of watching for “cat” burglars. Please don’t tell anybody, but it looks like he may have fallen asleep on the job.

Strange Sleeping Positions - cat stretched out in sun

Who can ever resist catching a few rays? Obviously not this cute kitty who appears to be happily working on his tan! He looks so relaxed, he’s making us feel rather drowsy all the sudden.

Strangest Sleeping Positions - Large Dog, small bed

We all have that friend who always takes the biggest and the best for themselves, even when it makes no sense. Well, at least, this wolfhound’s rear-end is comfortable. It’s pretty clear who the boss is around this establishment.

Strange sleeping positions barbecue cat
Source

Some cats love to sleep in the most precarious positions. Apparently, this kitty thinks that the barbecue is perfect for an afternoon siesta. We thought cats liked to be clean? This one didn’t get that gene.

dog hald-way sleeping on couch

So tired. Must… make… it …to…the…couch…zzz, zzzz, zzz.

Strange Sleeping Positions - Cat Backbend Off the couch

Perhaps this little cat’s chiropractor suggested stretching would be good for her back. Or perhaps, she was a bat in her former life. All we know is that this sleeping position certainly takes some mad skill!

Strange Sleeping Positions - Cat in a rain gutter

Hmm, we’ve heard of gutter rats. But this is the first gutter cat we’ve ever seen.

How sweet is this pup? He’s obviously not comfortable, but he knows he can’t move without disturbing his sleeping buddy.

Lie on the grass? Not this baby horse! Why get dirty when you can use your mama for a nice soft bed instead?

Cat In A shoe
Source

And now we’ve found a real life Puss in Boots. Really, though, a darling kitten taking a snooze in some shoes — it can’t get much cuter than that, can it?

Cat on big dog
Source

This cat looks very peaceful. But we’re not surprised, considering that this feline has its very own pillow/security guard. They fit together like two adorable puzzle pieces.

 slinky cat
Source

Is it a slinky? Or is it a cat? Whatever this sleeping creature is, it appears to have somehow misplaced all of its bones.

dog outgrows doghouse

“Hey, mom, can I get a new house?” This poor hound seems to have outgrown his living quarters. Maybe he’s dreamin’ about the “glory days.”

dog in baseball glove
Source

Doggy love in a glove! This picture is a true homerun, combining two of America’s favorite things — baseball and a sweet little puppy. We’re guessing that this little dog being a Boston terrier is probably a Red Sox fan.

Talk about your odd couple! These two make a strange but simply adorable pair of love birds — er, love cats… we mean love dogs.. forget it, let’s just say they’re adorable.

Strangest Sleeping Positions gorilla baby

Would it be corny to say that this is the gorilla of my dreams? Hope not. Because this little sleeping cutie has really stolen our hearts.

This super cute pup makes us nervous with his gravity-defying sleeping habits. Hopefully, he won’t be waking up with a thud.

Talk about waking up with a crick in your neck! This poor baby giraffe’s neck is so long, he has to catch some shuteye whatever way possible — even if it looks like he’s going to be sore for a week!

Strange slee[ing positions - puppy asleep on sheep

Yawn! This counting sheep business can really wear out a pup! At least the sheep make nice, fluffy pillows when you need to catch a few zzz’s.

kitten in a cupholder

We thought this was a cup holder, not a cat holder. Oh, well, this sweet little kitten doesn’t seem to care what it’s called and appears very content with her new sleeping quarters.

baby panda asleep on tree

When you’re a panda, your main job is being cute. Well, this little panda thinks it’s absolutely exhausting having to be this cute all the time!

 cat curled in basket
Source

It may be a tight fit, but this cat managed to fit snuggly and quite artistically into this basket. We give him a 10 for being so awesome!

Dog Smooshes Cat
Source

Is there ever such a thing as too much love? This cat looks like he definitely thinks so and the dog thinks he has more to give and is so very happy about that.

cat in wine glass
Source

“Waiter, there’s a hair in my glass! Oh, wait, it’s actually a whole kitten.” Perhaps this is a cat-bernet sauvignon. How did this little kitten even get into the glass? Kittens must have 0 bones.

Snow problem! When you’re wearing a fluffy white coat, even sleeping on the snow is like taking a nap on a big soft bed.

 bat with stuffed animal
Source

Everybody loves stuffed animals. Even baby bats. And just like a human baby, this little bat doesn’t want to go beddy-bye without his stuffed best friend.

white cat in white sink
Source

I spy something white! An all-in-one bed and a bath. This white cat is just hoping no one is going to turn the faucet on her comfy new bed, which wouldn’t be hard considering how camouflage she is.

squirrel in cup

A squirrel in a curl — this is why it’s always a good idea to check your cup before pouring coffee in it!

Sleepy sloth
Source

We don’t think any creature on this planet could look more relaxed than this sloth doing his sloth thing. So totally chill!

Cat sleeps in the corner
Source

Trouble and kittens sometimes go hand and hand. This kitty’s human mom must have put her in this corner to think about some misdeed, and the poor little fluff muffin just couldn’t stay awake.

For this little donkey, having a stuffy makes it so much easier to go night-night.

Floating in the sea, just mommy and me! This baby is enjoying the best type of nappy time.

Cat in a basket

Poor kitty. It was this close to fitting its whole body in that basket.

lion in tree
Source

We ain’t lion — this sleeping position just doesn’t look all that comfortable to us.

squirrels bird house
Source

So this is what happens when two squirrels try to fit into a bird-size house. “What is this a center for ants? It has to be at least three times bigger than this.” Name that movie!

two bunnies sleeping on their backs

We just can’t believe how paws-i-tively adorable these two sleeping baby bunnies are!

koala casually hanging in a tree

Although we don’t think this tree looks very comfortable, this koala certainly looks like he’s enjoying a very nice nap. He might be having a strange dream though, as seen by his wide hands and feet. If only he could tell us!

It’s a fox sleeping in a flower box. We think that totally rocks!

hamster in bars
Source

This silly little hamster appears to have fallen asleep in the middle of a failed attempt at a jail break…or perhaps he’s stuck? Oh, to be young, slim and agile again!

cat in vacuum hose
Source

A womb with a view? We’re not sure why this kitty decided it wanted to sleep in the tight coil of this hose. Perhaps, it wanted to feel like it was back in the confined comforts of his mommy’s tummy again.

 baby bear pine tree

Rock-a-bye baby bear in a tree top. When the wind blows, we really hope this bough doesn’t break!

cat too big for basket
Source

This is what happens when your human mom and dad refuse to believe that you’re no longer a kitten and refuse to buy you a big cat bed. On a real note, how did this cat twist his neck into this position? Wild.

 Strange Sleeping Position - puppy sleeping on couch
Source

Talk about camouflage. This cutie almost blends in with the sofa and pillows. Only her little paws and black nose give her away.

Rat sleeping on his head
Source

Rats! Don’t you just hate it when you fall asleep on your head? Apparently, though, this rat finds it quite comfy!

downward dog
Source

Have you ever fallen asleep doing a downward dog in yoga? Well, this dog apparently did! After the neck pain he will undoubtedly feel upon wakening, we don’t think he will recommend it.

guinea pig sleeping in a bowl
Source

This little guinea piggy went to market. This little guinea piggy stayed home. This little guinea piggy went wee, wee, wee all the way home and then fell asleep in his water bowl.

cat in dog bed
Source

You can almost hear this naughty little feline taunting this pup with, “Cats rule, dogs drool” as he takes over his big comfy bed. It’s obvious who’s the top dog in this household — and it’s not the dog.

Cat takes nap in purse
Source

There are some days when a purse is more than a handbag. Sometimes, it also doubles as a real comfortable place to take a nap.

Baby Goats

When you’re all tuckered out, it’s nice to have a buddy to nap with. Just ask these two baby goats who are enjoying a blissful little snooze together.

Sun, surf and a smiling seal having a siesta. Life really doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
