Whether you own a cat or know someone who does, you have to admit they’re downright adorable. Sure, these animals can be stinkers at times but most often, all they want is to play, cuddle, and sleep. On average, a cat naps 16 hours a day. That gives people plenty of opportunities to snap the cutest photos of them with their eyes closed.
