Headless Chippy


Of my four cats, only Chippy sleeps in this rather strange position.

She's 13 now and has slept like this since she was a kitten. Is this normal ?

Obviously normal to her. She must hold the kitty record of not breathing.
I've never seen another cat sleep like that though. I wonder what started it... Is she head-shy?

Remarkable - what a strange position to go to sleep in! Presume it's totally normal for her if she's done it all her life.

Re: Headless Chippy


Are you sure she's a cat not a hedgehog

What an unusual sleeping position . . . My Balie does tuck his head in a bit but nothing as extreme as that!

My Abi tucks her head in too - but not to that extent!!

Her heads at this end but it's bent (in a straight line) right underneath her tummy.
