There is nothing animals love more than warmth. Sometimes that means accepting a loving embrace from a human. Other times it involves basking in the warm summer sun. At least, those are the typical situations.
However, these pets and wildlife are far from typical. They discovered warmth in the most unexpected of places. For example, the kitten that discovered the best place to sleep was on top of an Apple MacBook charger. It’s both cute and hilarious. Which one of these 75 adorable animals is your favorite?
1. Fake Desert Enviroment
The lizard has a heat lamp in its cage. It’s something that the cat has also discovered. She always goes in there to sleep now. The two pets stay on separate sides of the cage and mind their own business.
2. Dark Places
The room gets pretty dark during the day. However, a few rays of light do manage to sneak in through the window. The dog always sits there and soaks them up.
3. Family Gathering
In this zoo, an entire family of meerkats was spotted huddling underneath the heat lamp. They know that the best way to stay warm is to stick together. They are very social animals.
4. No Blanket Necessary
The rays of sunshine only pass through the window onto the stairwell for a few hours every day. The cat has learned over the years that it is the best time to take a nap. It doesn’t even need a blanket.
5. So Relaxed
Not only is the window warm, but it also provides amazing views of the apartment complex. The cat isn’t there for the views though. It just wants to sleep.
6. Gloomy Mood
Here we have a cat that’s really into mood lighting. We would warn her not to look straight into the light like that, but it’s clear that she is not going to listen. She is living in her own world.
7. Ray Of Warmth
All of the dogs in this household know about the secret hot spot. They don’t even have to fight for room. There is plenty of warmth for everyone.
8. Laptop Heat
This kitten really likes the warm air blowing out of the laptop fan. She is tiny enough to fit on the vent for now, but in the future, it probably won’t be possible. She enjoys it while she can.
9. Bird Warmer
This bird discovered the same thing — laptops are a great place to nap. The heat is simply irresistible. The humans are just going to have to work around the pets.
10. Angry Lizard
“I went into my brother’s room to see the cat hogging the heating lamp from the bearded dragon,” the man explains. The lizard definitely doesn’t want it to become a regular thing. It looks like they are going to have to keep the door to the room shut in the future.
11. Happy Kittens
It appears as though the new kittens discovered the radiator. They are very grateful for it. Although, it won’t be long until they are too big to fit in there.
12. Work Buddies
This family always has a cat nearby to keep them company while they work. It’s because the cat loves the desk lamp. When there are people working on their laptops at the table, the cat always joins them.
13. Radiator Bed
Even when cats get bigger, the radiator is still an attractive spot to lay. They can’t fit in between the radiator fins, but they can sit on top. They look pretty goofy while doing it though.
14. Sound Asleep
This person had to get a heat lamp to keep the cat from jumping on the keyboard while they were working. It looks like it was a good strategy. The cat is very pleased with the new arrangement.
15. Pets Stick Together
Sometimes, the best way to stay warm is to curl up next to your best friend. That’s what these two do. They might belong to different species, but they are as close as can be.
16. Heating Up
The stove isn’t the safest place to sleep, but it sure is comfortable. If the burner is turned on extremely low, it doesn’t cook the cat, but simply keeps it warm. Hopefully, the knob doesn’t get bumped.
17. Cat Blanket
Normally dogs and cats don’t really get along. However, in this case, the dog was so sleepy that he didn’t even mind the cat’s intrusion. She is like a blanket for him.
18. Natural Beds
These two dogs know exactly where to lay — where the sun shines through the window. They each have their own warm spot to relax on. Life is good.
19. Hot Spot
It doesn’t look like the most comfortable place to lay, but it certainly is warm. The kitten hugs the pipes of the radiator and soaks it all in. It feels very nice.
20. Window Pane Fun
Each dog gets its own spot to chill and sleep in the afternoon. The floor might be hard, but once it warms up, it’s perfect. All four of them love it.
21. Scarce Light
Here we have a time-lapse of a house full of cats. They all are very interested in the beam of light coming through the window. If only someone would open up the blinds for them…
22. Competing For Warmth
These cats share a similar interest in the tiny sliver of light that sneaks into the house. There isn’t a lot to go around, but they absorb the heat from it the best that they can.
23. Cat Paradise
When you are a cat, there is nothing better than a space heater. It’s the best way to warm up your paws when it’s chilly outside. This family of cats definitely gets it.
24. Laid Back Afternoon
Humans love sunbathing, and it turns out, cats love it too. It’s not a natural position for a cat to lay in, but if a cat’s tummy is cold, it will make an exception.
25. Warm Places
Who needs a cat bed when you have a natural box of light to lay on? These cats are very content with their situation. They wouldn’t have it any other way.
26. Toasty Warm
Things are heating up for this cat. We can only hope that she doesn’t get stuck in there in between the radiator fins. It looks like a tight squeeze.
27. Pug Life
This is one of the most majestic pugs that we’ve ever seen. Pugs love the sun, but really, what animal doesn’t? It is just so warm and enjoyable.
28. Sunbathing Precision
The dog fits perfectly on the beam of light shining through the window. Unfortunately, it won’t last long. A few minutes from now, the light will change its position.
29. Chilled Out
This photo is the opposite of the others. The kangaroo got too hot in the summer sun. It found the only sliver of shade around to relax in.
30. Favorite Heater
The cat’s favorite place to sit is on top of the heater. We don’t blame him. It looks like a great spot to lean back and unwind.
31. Piling On
These meerkats all sleep in a big bowl. It’s pretty hilarious. However, that’s where the heat lamp is. They don’t care if it’s a little crowded.
32. Pleasant Nap
Warm air comes out of the vent. That’s all this cat knows. She doesn’t care why, as long as it keeps coming out, she is happy.
33. Room For Two
Cats love radiators. That much is clear. If you have one of them in your house, sooner or later your cat is going to discover it.
34. Stubborn And Warm
If you tell this cat to get down, she is not going to react very well. She doesn’t like being told what to do. If she wants to warm up on top of the heater, she is going to do it.
35. Electronic Pillow
It turns out, DVD players can get pretty warm too. This cat loves to use one as a pillow. It’s not soft, but it is nice and heated.
36. Common Occurence
This cat made a similar discovery. Old electronics can get very hot. The older the better. Newer models are just too energy efficient. Also, just for fun, check out the wallpaper background on the computer… Do you notice anything familiar?
37. Laptop Bed
Never leave your laptop unattended. If you do, you might come back to find a kitten lying on it. Really, it’s not surprising at all. It is cute though.
38. Blissful Warmth
A warm kitten is a happy kitten. Just look at her face. She is so relaxed. She is experiencing a state of complete bliss.
39. Cover Up
If there is no heater around, the next best thing is a really heavy blanket. This dog is practically buried in the covers. They definitely do the trick.
40. Sunbathing Talent
This goofy cat is angled perfectly to catch the sun rays. He has been doing it his whole life. At this point, he considers himself an expert sunbather.
41. Hand Warmer
“My cat comes in from the cold and puts her paws on the lamp to warm them up,” explains the owner. It’s good thinking. The man has a very smart pet cat.
42. Desk Buddy
The desk lamp provides a lot of heat. The dog knows he isn’t supposed to get up there, but he can’t help himself. He loves laying there way too much.
43. Cozy Chimp
This guy is incredibly content. Chimpanzees love radiators just as much as cats do. He would hang out relaxing on top of it all day if his trainers would let him.
44. Cuddle Time
Sleeping alone is no fun for anyone. Luckily, these two have each other to help keep themselves warm at night. They both look very snug tucked underneath the covers.
45. Heated Beds
The only thing better than lying on the radiator is lying in a bed underneath a warm blanket next to the radiator. These two cats are basically in heaven.
46. Cat Friends
These chubby cats found that the best way to stay warm was to snuggle up next to each other on the chair. They look very sleepy. Soon, they will be completely passed out.
47. Sleeping Mat
This cat is almost too big for the laptop. She just barely fits on top of it. However, she thinks it’s great. It’s like a heating pad for her.
48. All Pets Allowed
In this house, all of the pets curl up together on the leg rest of the couch to stay warm. It doesn’t matter whether you are a dog, cat, or any other animal. Everyone is welcome.
49. Hot Stones
The patio heats up during the day when the sun shines on it. The cat is well aware of the phenomenon. She always takes advantage of it.
50. Warming Device
There was a perfectly good bed to lay on and covers to use. However, the cat didn’t care. Nothing compares to the heat that the laptop gives off.
51. Just Chillin’
It’s not entirely clear as to what this cat is lying on. Although, if one thing is for sure, it’s that it’s warm. Why else would the cat be chilling there?
52. Engine Heat
Hoods of cars can get pretty warm when the engine is running. We never would have thought of sleeping there, but it’s an excellent idea. As long as the cat doesn’t scratch the vehicle, the owner won’t mind.
53. Little Baby
Snuggled up next to momma is this cat’s favorite place to be. Even when the woman is cooking breakfast, the cat joins her. The comfortable furball never leaves her side.
54. Sunny Room
Most of the house is dark and dreary during the day. However, the cat knows exactly where to go to find warmth. There are a few spots where the light gets in.
55. Warm Bed
The bed is a very comfortable spot to relax, but the best part is when the sun peaks through the window. It heats up the covers, making them extra toasty.
56. Computer Illiterate
Here we have another cat that knows all about the warmth that laptops provide. To them, it is just a cat warmer. They don’t understand any of the other functions of the technology.
57. Basking In The Rays
This cat is completely at peace. The sun is both warming and calming — it is a prerequisite for any good nap. The cat will wake up in a few hours.
58. Fluff Ball
We assure you, this ball of fluff warming itself on the computer charger is a pet. We’re not sure what kind of pet. However, it looks like a rabbit.
59. Window Seat
It’s cold outside, however, the views are nice. There is still some sun peaking through the window too. It’s a nice relief from the snowy weather.
60. Park Bench Bliss
In this photo, its summertime — the greatest time of year. There is no better place to be in the summer than outside soaking up the sun in the park. It’s an amazing feeling.
61. Deep Sleep
This hardwood floor heats up when the light hits it. The cat is well aware. It is even better than a blanket for warming up your cold bones.
62. Everyone Loves Warmth
Not all dogs are big and beautiful. Some are tiny and goofy looking. However, the little ones love the heat just as much as the big ones do.
63. Pursuit Of Heat
The curtains are no match for this cat. She’ll seek out warmth regardless of whether they are blocking the sunlight or not. They can’t stop her.
64. Cat Located
When it’s cold inside and the cat is missing, just check the heater. That’s where she can be found. It is the best place to warm up when it’s freezing.
65. Euphoric Sunlight
Here is another happy cat basking in the sun. It’s what cats do best. No one has to teach them to seek out sunlight, they do it naturally.
66. Relaxing Break
This pup is huddled up nice and close to the heater, just warming up for a little bit. It’s a part of his regular routine. He does it every day throughout the cold winter months.
67. Hot Armrest
Cats enjoy heaters and warmth even more than catnip. If you try and lure them away from the heat source, they won’t budge. They love it so much.
68. Natural Attraction
This cat feels the same way as the others. She is always attracted to the light coming through the window. The warmth from the sun is so alluring.

Pups love it when their owners tuck them in at night. They are just like young children in that regard. It makes them feel safe, secure, and most importantly, warm.
71. Sleepy Piglet
Pigs make great pets. They are pretty low maintenance and spend a lot of time sleeping and relaxing. While eating is still their favorite hobby, soaking up the sun is definitely number two.
72. Friends For Life
Both of these pups enjoy the sun as much as they enjoy each other. They are always hanging out together. They are two peas in a pod.

74. Hard At Work
The cat doesn’t like photos, but she sure likes the laptop. It warms her up. She is only able to lie on it when her owners aren’t paying attention though. Otherwise, they yell at her.
