What’s the formula for the perfect nap? Well, to find the answer, ask the masters of catching the Zzzs: cats!
We’ve all seen it. That talent to nap anywhere, anytime, in any position that seems physically impossible. It’s truly an art form. While all cats love their beauty sleep, some breeds are ultimate snooze enthusiasts that only a tired college student could beat.
If you’re a competitive napper, you have to get to know your competition. So better get comfy and take a look at 6 purr-fect sleepers, ranked from least sleepy to the sleepiest!
1. Birman
Sure, their naps may not be as intense when compared to the other cats on this list, but hey, they live the luxe life nonetheless!
These cat divas look like they’re ready for a catwalk (pun intended), but they love lounging with their favorite humans instead.
Sunbathing is their day job! They’re drawn to the warmest part of your home, which is usually the go-to naptime location.
2. Chartreux
Ah, the Chartreux cat! The certified nap queen of France. This cool cat is always watching, always looking for a naptime spot like a calm and collected French philosopher. That is until a piece of lint catches in its eye. Then all bets are off.
This breed is also known for its signature smile! From whisker to whisker! Even when they’re napping, they have a cute little grin on their faces. Honestly, I get it. The thought of napping makes me smile too.
3. Scottish Fold
When they’re not enjoying a good stretch, they’re all about long and luxurious naps. These “folded up” kitties can literally fold themselves into the most comfortable and adorable sleeping positions. Just like some kind of cat-napping ninja!
So when you see a Scottish Fold enjoying a nap, don’t be surprised if they look like their ears do – all folded up and ready for some serious R&R!
4. Exotic Shorthair
I will get to the Persians in a second, but I just have to talk about their shorter-hair cousins first! Exotic Shorthairs take third place for a reason: they are couch potatoes for couch potatoes.
If you want a low-maintenance version of the Persian cat, then these furballs were made for you.
A perfect Netflix binge partner! These kitties spend hours upon hours of their days asleep. And when they wake up, it’s usually to saunter over to your lap for more naptime!
5. Ragdoll
Say hello to the Ragdoll, the second-in-command master of cat naps. These chill kitties are known for their relaxed vibes and love all things sleep-related. If there’s a nap to be had, the Ragdoll is on it!
They’re so relaxed that they go limp in your arms when you pick them up! A living, breathing teddy bear! Ragdolls love to nap near their humans, so be careful not to accidentally sit on or step on them!
6. Persian
Behold, the undisputed King of Naps! Persians can snooze up to 20 hours a day! I mean, that’s almost as good as a student after finals week.
Sure, their coats may take a good amount of effort to groom, but their energy levels? You won’t find a better naptime pal than a Persian!
One would think they’re meditating or figuring out all the secrets of the universe in their cat dreamlands. Or that they’re just in a coma.
