What your cat’s sleeping position says about your relationship
In a clip that has gone viral on TikTok, the owners of kitties Pablo + Jellybean (@gatofather) outlined the theory which is well-documented across social media.

Another person revealed: “OK, but what if they demand you make a little cave under the blanket for them so they can be a cozy little spoon?”
“My cat sleeps below my feet, cause I toss and turn and he doesn’t wanna die,” a third person wrote, as a fourth quipped, “My cat must be confused she does all of the above.”
