Anyone else have a cat that likes to sploot?
My cat prefers to lay on her side but stretched out like this. Then she'll use her claws in the carpet to pull herself towards a toy or something because she is too lazy to get up.

My cat that looks exactly that also likes to do the same thing
!!!that just made my day! That's one pretty lady you have there
Got a rabbit that does
Perfect! I miss having a bun, they're kinda like the hopping version of a cat lol. I used to have one that would play tag with me
I've had cats all my life and was surprised how many similarities they share with rabbits
Honestly, I've never really seen a cat sploot so unabashedly before. I love it!
Shameless splooting!
It's like she just don't care! We're fostering, but it feels like we're being adopted. Kinda like, "this is my safe space now, deal with it"... and ya know what?, I am lol. She's too sweet (and bitchy, but also really sweet)
That's one of the thing I love about cats. They refuse to compromise who they are. I respect that. Dogs will literally do whatever it takes to please you, and I love them to pieces too, but there's just something about cats determining their own path that you can't help but acknowledge. They know they don't technically need you, you're just warm and comfortable, but they know full well that they could slice your throat and escape and survive in the jungle if they wanned.
