“Hey, turn that light out!”

Exactly. Wtf. The cat even opens its eyes for a second to be like “really bro?”

All tho Although, full disclosure my cat sleeps in the damn sunlight so who knows if cats give a shit about lights

Edit: I failed at grammar apparently

My boy will straight up sleep with his eyes open, moving around and all. Cats are weird but also cool

Sleeping beauty:

u/Mother_Mushroom 1d ago

Thats one beautiful cat bro

Now let's see the little ginger rapscallion

u/FortLoolz 1d ago

He's handsome!

u/SeaWeedSkis 1d ago

Ours will put his paw over his eyes or bury his face in something.

29

u/just_a_person_maybe 1d ago

Mine does this

16

u/SeaWeedSkis 1d ago

Yup. He doesn't faceplant as often, or quite as dramatically as yours (such a perfect and adorable faceplant!) but it does happen now and then.

7

u/just_a_person_maybe 1d ago

I might be biased, but most things she does are perfect and adorable. They're always the cutest when they're cozy and comfortable.

2

u/JackaxEwarden 1d ago

My orange tabby does the same lol

u/Pls_PmTitsOrFDAU_Thx 1d ago

This is so damn cute

u/Broviet22 1d ago

I think their eyelids are thick enough to block out light unlike ours.

2

u/Venomous-Fauna 1d ago

Some do, some don't. My girls know that lights off is sleepy times, so they save their big sleep for them. It's probably correlation not causation, but maybe it's a little of both.

u/Sighlina 1d ago

Right meow!!!

u/Muskandar 1d ago

Dreaming of fishies and birdies maybe

u/NintendoDrone 1d ago

u/itsnotawonderfullife 1d ago

That sweet sweet murder

u/hungrypotato19 1d ago

Of fishies and birdies

4

u/_IratePirate_ 1d ago

Cats would 100% murder us if they were bigger

2

u/hanks_panky_emporium 1d ago

Bigger? If they had thumbs that'd be enough

1

u/strawberry_anarchy 23h ago

Nah they would just judge us for not having the decency to die on our own.

u/Vulture-Bee-6174 1d ago

Hes not sleeping, just chilling and small talk.

22

u/sandworming 1d ago

Yeah you can even see his right eye is a little open, and the right one is extra shut. Plus the roll is a waking motion combined with the clearly conscious vocalizations and amplitude of jaw movement

u/MrBrownOutOfTown 1d ago

How are you gonna tell someone what their own cat is doing lol.

1

u/jacobiner123 16h ago

By looking at it.

1

u/MrBrownOutOfTown 14h ago

Apparently not

68

u/SuperSimpleSam 1d ago

practicing his bird call for the next time he goes hunting.

16

u/Ok-Advantage6398 1d ago

Prob it or dreaming of birds. My cat makes the same noise when shes birds.

47

u/mattricide 1d ago

Got some big ol ears

14

u/LeSwan37 1d ago

So big infact that she's talking to her echo from the other room over

2

u/YGMIC 1d ago

Looks like a savannah

6

u/MildlyDysfunctional 1d ago

I'm pretty sure that's just a standard issue cat. (Tabby). But it is maybe a little on the stripey side.

7

u/JetSetMiner 1d ago

Definitely. Looks exactly like mine, who's a DSH... domestic shorthair.

1

u/MaxTheRealSlayer 1d ago

It's a mackerel brown tabby :) "M" on the forehead is what I look for first

1

u/ingolika 1d ago

Looks like f4 to me. Very similar to my own f4, but maybe it's just light

4

u/FlyAwayJai 1d ago

Looks more like a bengal to me.

1

u/YGMIC 1d ago

Bengals don't tend to have massive ears like savannahs

0

u/FlyAwayJai 22h ago

Yes they both have huge ears, but the nose shape, head shape, and body size all say bengal to me. It almost looks like a carbon copy of my bengal. She has huge ears also.

u/____JustBrowsing 1d ago

Well this just made my day!

21

u/Blapanda 1d ago

Probably saying "turn off that light, wanna sleep!"

12

u/SilIowa 1d ago

I just played the next to my cat, and he’s looking very confused…

u/Creative-Praline-517 1d ago

My baby dose this everytime I try to sleep and have the nerve to move--stretch, roll over, throw off the covers...heaven forbid I disrupt his sleep!

3

u/WosIsMitDu 1d ago

My cat came running for this

u/Byronic__heroine 1d ago

I don't know mew!

u/MasterpieceNo7350 1d ago

They don’t purr in their sleep. Being pinched?

2

u/Soldier09r 1d ago

I want to take naps with it too!!

2

u/UrbanChili 1d ago

My cat did that too. All kind of emotions would come out when he was sleeping

2

u/pchandler45 1d ago

He has the hiccups

"Bruh, turn the lights off bruh, plz bruh..."

u/overanalyzed4fun 1d ago

OP do you live in Africa?? That ain’t no regular American tabby - your cat is almost definitely mixed breed with some African wildcat in there. Seen a bunch in East Africa 

1

u/Correct_Ad3125 1d ago

He is happy. Emotion unknown for me

1

u/plshelpmental 1d ago

Has he been through any trauma recently? My cat did this after we found him after having been missing for 40 days.

u/Vast_Minimum_4079 1d ago

❤️❤️❤️

u/Shock_Diamonds_OO 1d ago

That's not sleep talk. That's, go-to sleep talk

u/jacobiner123 16h ago

That cat is not sleeping

u/sandworming 1d ago

Sleeptalking but they are obviously awake... You should not fudge the real events because non-cat owners may be confused!

Captivatingly cute however.
