Ah, cats. We love them for a couple of reasons. The first is because they’re so cute! How can you not love those itty-bitty little faces, the fluffy tails, and the tiny jelly bean toes? It’s basically impossible.
Of course, the second reason we love them is they’re just so weird. If you didn’t grow up around cats, you probably had a few experiences as an adult when you finally encountered one and wondered what the heck they were doing.
They run from room to room like they’re possessed. They sit in any container they can find (except their expensive cat bed). They make the strangest sounds, especially when they see birds or squirrels, and they bend in ways that shouldn’t be physically possible.
But with all their weirdness, cats know they’re awesome. They don’t care that we laugh at how cute or goofy they are. They think they’re amazing.
And of course, if there is a table available, they’ll sit on it. More accurately, they’ll sit, lay, sprawl, loll, and clean themselves on it. And if it’s a glass table, kitty tower, window, or skylight, you get to see some sights like these. Be prepared for lots of belly fluff.
Do you want to have a snack, read a book, or do literally anything else in peace? Not while this kitty is around. He waits, he watches, he sees you eating chips without sharing.
2. The dangers of having a skylight
One woman woke up to this sight — a strange cat claiming her skylight as its own. That makes me weirdly nervous about my roof. At any moment, there could be a strange cat up there.
Here we have the rare and beautiful bowl cat, which can leave behind its corporeal form to become a shapeless mass of fur and whiskers. If you shake a snack bag or gently touch its toes, it’ll recall to its normal shape.
We should all have this sassy cat as our spirit animal. Sun’s out, tongue’s out, bum’s out, and he’s living large. Most of us only dream of having the confidence of this cat.
Here we see what happens when an enormous amount of fluff meets a flat plane of glass. The resulting pancake cat effect is one that’s been extensively studied by scientists over the years.
6. The Great Sphinx of Table
If you’ve ever wondered what cats do with their paws when they’re sitting in that weird loaf position, wonder no more: they do whatever the heck this weirdo is doing.
7. A close analysis of the beans
Considering how much cats hate it when you touch their feet, this might be the closest we’ll ever get to looking at those bean toes. No seriously, they REALLY hate it when you touch their feet.
8. Must. Poke. The Belly.
This incredibly fluffy baby got so cozy on the glass table that they’re out cold. Personally, I can’t imagine that surface is a comfortable place to nap, but you do you, kitty.
This cat looks stunned to realize that it’s not alone. What are you doing down there, looking at my toes? Who said you could look at my toes?
10. If the glass wasn’t there, he’d be clawing you
This cat is resting on a table and he’ll have you know that he doesn’t appreciate you taking pictures. Even if he’s sitting with his paws at a weird angle and his belly fur is smushed.
11. The snooziest snooze that ever snoozed
Don’t you wish you could curl up and sleep as happily as a cat? No responsibilities, no bills, no job. You have exactly one item on your checklist every day, and that’s to take a nap.
12. Nina and Lola show off their paws
These stylish girls are showing off more than their cute little paws. They’re also giving us a peek at those oh-so-fluffy bellies. But don’t even think about touching them.
Have you ever been so relaxed that you turned into a puddle? This happy kitty has. Of course, it’s suspended on the glass, which means we can see all its glorious fluff.
14. Moses supposes his toeses are roses
Have you ever seen a cat perfectly line up all four feet and all 18 bean toes? Well now you have. Thanks to the glass table, you can say you have the best seat in the house. Is that weird?
Here’s another cat that came to perch on a skylight, and it’s not shy about staring directly into the home. Hey, kitty, I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. Or at the very least, it’s strange.
Don’t you love it when cats daintily curl their paws in front of their chests? It’s like they’re making themselves a little pillow. From below, of course, it looks kind of goofy.
17. Leaving an imprint in the belly fluff
We saw the cuteness of the front paws — now take a gander at those cute back paws. Yes, they’re adorable, but don’t even think about touching them unless you want to lose an eye.
Remember when you were a kid and you smashed your face on windows just to be silly? That’s what this cat is doing. Except he’s also napping. Okay, no, he’s just napping.
19. That wee little face!
For a slightly different view, there’s this oh-so-chubby fellow who;s perfectly comfortable leaning up against the window like this. Don’t you wish your cheeks had built-in pillows?
This cat looks absolutely exhausted — it might be laying on a hard glass surface, but it’s out cold. This is what I look like every afternoon around 2:00 p.m.
How could we not look at this round belly? Sorry if we’re annoying you, kitty — we just can’t help but admire your pretty white fur.
Here’s another cat that’s feeling too sleepy to care about anything! Its little mouth is lolling open and its whiskers are drooped. You can fall asleep anywhere when you’re basically made of a pillow and blanket.
23. You’ve displeased him
This cat noticed you watching it from under the table and it’s had enough of your shenanigans. Tables are places for sleeping and knocking things over, not for taking pictures of my paws, okay?
24. Hey, what are you doing down there?
It’s always awkward when someone catches you trying to sneak a picture of them. It’s even worse if you’re trying to take a picture of their butt through a glass table.
25. These paws can’t be real
This cat doesn’t know what you’re up to down there, but at the end of the day, he doesn’t really care. He’s cooling his toe beans on the glass and nothing’s going to stop him.
26. Don’t forget the hairless kitties
You might think that hairless cats look creepy, but according to the people who own them, they’re extremely sweet and affectionate. However, they do look a bit alien, don’t they?
27. Up close and personal
This cat’s name is Pete and he doesn’t have time for your pictures. Pete has to clean his belly fluff. He’s cleaned his belly fluff 12 times a day, every day, since he was a kitten.
This cat looks kind of startled to realize there’s a picture being taken, and honesty, we can’t blame him! But we also can’t blame his owner for wanting to capture a photo of that fluffy belly.
29. Four perfect kitty feet
This cat put all four paws on perfect display through the glass table, and we can’t help but notice how sweet and round they are. We’re not sure what it’s doing with its face, though.
30. A belly worthy of Van Gogh
Don’t you think the famous “Starry Night” painter would have enjoyed capturing those swirls of different-colored fur? What about the long tufts on the side?
31. What are you doing down there?
One of the best things about cats on glass tables is seeing their bellies and soft little feet. Of course, the other thing is when they notice you through the glass and wonder what the heck you’re doing.
32. Haha, your belly is naked
This kitty’s been having one too many cheeseburgers — or bowls of kibble, at least. His big belly is proof of that, and it’s kind of making us giggle. That’s one chubby cat belly.
This cat has all four feet so neatly folded together underneath its belly. It looks kind of goofy from below, but still…so cute, right?
34. Gorgeous kitty has some fluff
This cat is just plain gorgeous. That long fur and those light blue eyes are bound to draw anyone’s attention, even self-proclaimed cat haters. Seriously, how can anyone hate a cat?
This guy’s just sitting on a skylight but he does look like he’s floating off into the sky — or maybe getting beamed up by an alien mothership. That would fit with the theory that cats are actually aliens.
36. “You’re taking pictures of my belly, aren’t you, Dave?”
This cat looks kind of startled to realize that it isn’t alone — and in fact, that its owner is giggling at it from beneath the table. Can’t a cat just ever relax on some glass anymore?
37. “Why are you under my table?”
Cats have a tendency to look at anything and everything as theirs — or at least, they act like they do. So, answer the question, human — why are you under his table?
Who said only adult cats know the fun of climbing on a table? Okay, no one said that. This tiny guy (or gal) is already learning the pleasures of climbing on the furniture. And the view is adorable.
39. “Take a picture — it’ll last longer”
This cat looks like it’s striking a pose with those perfectly-situated little paws. But it also doesn’t look particularly happy about being watched. Can’t a feline ever get some privacy?
This kitty definitely has a couple of pounds to lose …but after you figure out what the heck is going on, you realize that’s all a mass of chub and fluff. Who couldn’t love a cat like that?
41. Caught in an awkward moment
Cats have the flexibility that humans could never dream of. That’s pretty cool, but sometimes it leads to awkward moments…like whatever the heck is going on here.
42. Can’t see through the fluff
You can’t even see this majestic kitty’s face through that immense amount of fur. You’ll just have to stare at those cute little paws and imagine a cat face to go with them.
43. Don’t wake the dragon
Every cat owner has encountered this face — the single eyelid cracked that says, “Don’t disturb me.” Of course, most of us don’t usually see it from this angle. It’s still terrifying.
44. The tiniest and cutest
I can’t even think of a caption for this photo because it’s too cute. The tiny paws. The tiny ears. The tiny tongue. And that soft, fuzzy kitten belly. It’s too much to take.
45. “Don’t be jealous of my luscious locks”
This kitty’s extra-curly belly fur seen from below kind of makes it look less like a cat and more like some kind of mythical creature. I get the feeling it would be completely okay with that.
This fuzzy baby is just too cute to handle. You want a tiny kitty belly, tiny paws folded politely, and the cutest little face you’ve ever seen? This little guy has it all.
47. This is the best angle for every cat
Really, is there any downside to having a glass table when you own a cat? Every picture that you get will be amazing. Just look at those teeny paws.
48. “Yes, I am looking down on you”
Yes, yuk it up while you make jokes about how your cat looks down on you. He absolutely does. You’re just his fancy butler who also gives him tuna.
49. It’s legally his house now
When a cat lays claim to your skylight, you may as well sign the deed over to him. It’s legally his house now. It’s the little-known “If He Fits It’s His” law.
50. She’s beauty, she’s grace
This stylish kitty is enjoying lounging on her glass table and she looks super stylish while doing it. If you’re not born with an attitude like this, you’ll never understand.
