Cats are masters at fitting themselves in the tightest, smallest, most awkward spaces — and they seem to be completely comfortable in those odd positions and locations.

Whether it’s a small box, a bowl, or even a shoe — just when you think there’s no possible way a cat could fit, they do! Some people think cats are strange, but really, they’re actually quite smart. A cat gets comfort from being tucked away in tight, small spaces. It supposedly even reduces their stress levels.

Cats might also find dark, cramped areas to take a nap because it helps them preserve their body heat. It’s actually a heat-saving strategy! So, next time you think your cat is strange when you find them in a funny, small space — admire their feline ability to adapt instead.

Here are 20 cats that decided “if I fit, I’ll sit.”

It’s hard to believe how some cats were able to fit in these places.

2. No, really — where did their body go?

3. Even big cats like to feel snug in tiny spaces.

4. Is that a cat or a super fluffy throw pillow?

5. Dad was trying to enjoy some alone-time in the cold sink — but then…kittens.

6. This is Audrey, and she falls asleep in shirt pockets.

7. Literally a bed of lettuce.

8. “How big is your kitten?”
“About a 6 and a half in women’s.”

9. This orange beauty was brought home in the basket as a kitten. They were recently reunited.

11. This cat chewed in an armrest for themselves. Not even kidding.

12. The tiny little paw pressed up against the bowl is too adorable to handle.
