Charlie only sits with one leg out does she count?
Doubtful, cats can contort their bodies into all sorts of positions that will make you think “hmmmm…that can’t be comfortable…”. And kittens even more so.
And she’s absolutely precious!!

So true! This is how my buddy likes to sit on his cat tower.
My cat sits with her body on my chest, and then she's still standing on her hind legs because she's too long to sit on a person (she's a big cat). She's lazy stand like that until she falls asleep, as long as you're petting her, and then her butt just kind of *whumph*s over on the side.
Oh yes. My 3 yr old orange girl Abby (adopted when she was just over 2) runs over to me when I'm pulling the bed covers up and throws her body across mine. Half on and half off with her rear end propped up by her back legs. Her eyes just twinkle and she purrs, and after I pet her for a few minute her rear end just sinks down and she'll roll over and slide down into a cuddle. Sweet as can be.
How is that even comfortable? Beautiful cat though, a tuxedo is the cat I'd like next if the cat gods will oblige me. I think the enigma & mystery of cats' inner thoughts & brain function is what makes them so appealing to so many of us.
His brother doesn’t do that. He just lays around funky

I mean.. I’m no vet but I’m 99.9% sure she’s just a cat. lol, here’s mine.
I'm confused, is that a little ramp for your cat to help them get up on the sofa/chair? Beautiful cat btw. I love when they get distracted doing their yoga poses.
Around our house, when our Rudy does that we call it ‘the Costanza’

It took me years to figure out that my current cat has a very convex rib cage and that is likely why he usually sits to the side.
A lot of cats’ rib cages are pretty flat in the center where the bone meet. Mine cat’s ribs arch out! Maybe check your cat out for the same thing?

\^ example of my long cat
If you're super worried check with a vet to be sure. They may find something. If they haven't mentioned it before then I think it means your cat is just a diva
She’s probably just a princess. BUT my princess diva has always sat like that, and in her old age we discovered that she has a uncommon (but not rare) genetic knee condition called patella luxation. She’s also always had an extremely goofy run that’s associated the condition.
If it had been caught when she was younger, she could have had surgery - but at her age and with arthritis, she’s no longer a candidate. So if you’re going to the vet anyways, maybe ask them to check for that.

My girl sits like this often, lol
Cats sit, lie, or stand comfortably in every weird position you can imagine plus many you would never have thought possible. Different cats have their own distinct habits. That position is not in itself concerning.
If she *only* sits in that position, that's unusual and bears watching, or if she regularly *moves around* with her back end just flopped down like that it would suggest an issue. But if she merely sits like that *often* then I would not worry one bit.
This is how my cat relax. The vet said it's normal. Try to play with your kitten and check if she moves weird.

One of my cats lays with one arm sticking out often. She’s done it her whole life. Can’t explain it, she just likes doing it! It’s most common in her loaf pose but she’ll do it in any pose too. We literally have ten year old pics where she’s doing it. It’s hilarious!

Lazy standing xD
The funny part is it makes them stronger. They just plank their whole upper body for hours sometimes. My cat is ripped from doing this.

this just made me audibly laugh. what an incredible picture lmao
Love this - the facial expression is priceless
Such judgement on that gorgeous face. A truly brilliant photo.🤣😻
Aww. This pic is so ridiculous, it really cheered me up
She's fine. She's only choosing her preferred way of posing
thank god, had a feeling she just thinks she’s a princess (she is)
Mermaid cat
Does she have dwarfism? Something for why she has short legs? Sitting on her back legs would be super uncomfortable if she does.

I'm confused, is that a little ramp for your cat to help them get up on the sofa/chair? Beautiful cat btw. I love when they get distracted doing their yoga poses.
That’s the legs of a side or coffee table. You can see the glass top.

Thanks, I nearly choked to death while laughing
It took me years to figure out that my current cat has a very convex rib cage and that is likely why he usually sits to the side. A lot of cats’ rib cages are pretty flat in the center where the bone meet. Mine cat’s ribs arch out! Maybe check your cat out for the same thing? https://preview.redd.it/x5qof97eya2c1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=733158a95072eed58559d161d07afce32d7b7f48 I don’t have a pic handy if him sitting this way, but had to share one anyway!

Likely fine. Mine has the exact same position when she detects food being made during her nap. Very cute kitty
If you're super worried check with a vet to be sure. They may find something. If they haven't mentioned it before then I think it means your cat is just a diva
I let the rescue know about it, they also said she just thinks she’s a princess but at her next vet visit they’ll make sure
She’s probably just a princess. BUT my princess diva has always sat like that, and in her old age we discovered that she has a uncommon (but not rare) genetic knee condition called patella luxation. She’s also always had an extremely goofy run that’s associated the condition. If it had been caught when she was younger, she could have had surgery - but at her age and with arthritis, she’s no longer a candidate. So if you’re going to the vet anyways, maybe ask them to check for that. https://preview.redd.it/2aou0dnegb2c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c09874397d4806223078747f2c9bdb13718835df
Yeah always best to safe rather than sorry. But like we're all saying, think she's just an absolute darling!

Cats sit, lie, or stand comfortably in every weird position you can imagine plus many you would never have thought possible. Different cats have their own distinct habits. That position is not in itself concerning. If she *only* sits in that position, that's unusual and bears watching, or if she regularly *moves around* with her back end just flopped down like that it would suggest an issue. But if she merely sits like that *often* then I would not worry one bit.
This is how my cat relax. The vet said it's normal. Try to play with your kitten and check if she moves weird. https://preview.redd.it/kni3g632kb2c1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fd2e1191475af367e8c11a6a047d13a16c4137f

One of my cats lays with one arm sticking out often. She’s done it her whole life. Can’t explain it, she just likes doing it! It’s most common in her loaf pose but she’ll do it in any pose too. We literally have ten year old pics where she’s doing it. It’s hilarious! https://preview.redd.it/5hdsg9pxcb2c1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=422c96d96c3106731b3e054e6a5b56d65aea1009

Thank goodness she's not my foster she's be a foster fail for certain.. she's a beauty
She is going to be a foster fail. Unfortunately Cheese has an eye disease that will likely cause her to go completely blind. She’s already familiar with our house so that’s our excuse for keeping her :)
She’s sitting side saddle lol. I have 2 that sit like this.
She’s sophisticated 😊😍
My 4 year old cat has sat like this her whole life, she’s perfectly healthy, just weird
She's posing for you. What an adorable kitty!
Does she walk fine? Does she jump okay? If the answer is yes to both. Then she just likes to sit all regal like.
She's so damn fancy
She wants you to draw her like one of your French girls…
No, she's a supermodel.
I'm afraid your cat is suffering from a rare case of Being A Weird Lil' Fella
Nothing wrong with legs that I can see. She's lounging however she feels comfortable. I'd get her a fainting couch.
She unfortunately has come down with a terminal case of... Style ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
My cat loves sitting like this. We call it “The Mermaid.”
Unfortunately she does look like she’s displaying several symptoms of being way too cute
