These Pets Love Their Lazy Sundays
Nobody loves to relax as much as lazy pets do. Sure, we all love to lie down on the couch and catch up on our favorite shows, but dogs and cats take relaxing to a whole new level.
Somehow, these animals are able to kick back and relax like they don't have a care in the world. That's probably because they don't actually have a care in the world. They don't have jobs or chores or any real responsibilities. We wish we could get as relaxed as some of the animals on this list. Keep reading to see some pets who really know how to cuddle up and get comfy.
His Very Own Teddy Bear
Kids and dogs have a lot in common— they're both full of energy, they both need a lot of attention, and apparently they both love their stuffed animals. This pup can't fall asleep without his teddy bear.
This adorable little guy looks like he's on cloud nine cuddling his favorite teddy in bed. Now all he needs is a Milkbone midnight snack and he's all ready for a good night's sleep. Sweet dreams little pup!
Using A Couch As A Blanket
This cat doesn't care if there's a blanket available or not. He's going to make do with what he has. If there's no blanket, he'll just use the bottom of this couch. It's on soft carpet and it does the trick in a pinch.
This cute little fluffer definitely worked hard to achieve his dreams of sleeping and is having pleasant dreams as a result. Maybe he's dreaming about his favorite activity: going to sleep.
Goats Wearing Sweaters
We didn't think goats could get any cuter, but we were very much mistaken. Goats in sweaters are just a tad cuter than regular old goats. These goats are getting comfy right before bedtime. Every creature loves to feel warm and swaddled no matter what they look like. Okay, maybe not every creature, but a lot of creatures.
Look at how cute these sleepy little goats are! Where can I get one of those knitted sweaters?
Getting Under The Couch Covers
This cat must have gotten a tip from that other cat who likes to take naps under the couch. When you can't find a blanket, look for any kind of warm fabric. This kitty found out that getting cozy under a couch cover is even better than getting cozy under a regular blanket.
It's a smart move. This is a move that a Mcgyver of cats would figure out. His owner better watch out because this ingenious feline is heading for the tuna cupboard next.
Before And After
On the left, you can see a picture of this dog before she got cozy. On the right is a photo of her after she was all tucked in. She looks cuter in the first photo (because we can actually see her face), but we think she looks much cozier in the second photo.
Reddit user Vannausen says their pup can't sleep unless she's completely covered up — and we find that way too adorable.
Stealing His Sister's Bed
This dog hasn't yet figured out that he can't just steal his sister's bed whenever he feels like it. We're sure he has his very own cozy bed, maybe in the very room he's sitting in right now. He wants a big girl bed, though. He thinks that's what he deserves. It's hard work being a cute doggo. After a hard day of begging for food and digging up the yard, you need somewhere comfy to lay your head.
This dog saw his human sister's bed and thought it was the perfect size for him to sleep in.
Falling Asleep In Dad's Arms
Sometimes a dog can have access to all the comfiest beds in the world, but he still chooses to fall asleep in his owner's arms. This is what trust between species really looks like. That dog feels safe right where he is.
When he's with his owner, there's no fear at all in his mind that his dad will drop him. That's the kind of adorable sleepiness and unconditional love that we can't get enough of.
Cat Bunk Beds
We see a couple of shelves used to hold clean towels, but these cats see bunk beds. To each their own, I guess. These two little kitties are having a real college experience. Maybe they just wanted to get in some brotherly bonding time.
You can barely see the cat on top because he's buried in a pile of towels. The cat on the bottom prefers to sleep on top of the towels. They have very unique sleeping preferences...
Sleeping Among The Music
This cat has managed to find comfort in the least comfy place. That doesn't look comfortable, right? But somehow, this cat still looks so relaxed. How is that possible?
In a way, this cat employs the perfect marketing strategy. Customers can browse the CD collection and then pause for head scratches. Who wouldn't want to pet a lazy kitty? Clever, cat. We see what you're doing. Come for the CDs, stay for the cute kitty.
You Can Never Have Too Many Blankets
Is it possible to be too cozy? Because we think this cat has found the upper limit. You can call her a blanket hog all you want, but she knows she has the best seat in the house.
Where's the kitten in this photo? This adorable feline has so many blankets around her that she's almost completely hidden under the folds! All we want to know is if there's room for two here. Let us in, kitty!
Sleeping On His Human
This kitty sure knows the value of a good hug, and that's something that we all can appreciate. After her owner had a long day, this cat laid down to deliver some much-needed cuddle time to her weary dad.
We can feel the healing power of a sleepy kitty curled up against your chest through this photo. This cat is sending signals that she's done with the day and really wants to hit the hay. Or is it hit the catnip in this case?
Mighty Big Ears
We all get secretly really excited to flip over the "Do Not Disturb" sign on a hotel door. There's such a fun feeling knowing that you can block out the world for a bit and just sleep. This big-eared pup definitely cherishes his alone time.
Look at those glorious ears! They're so big and floofy that we're in awe at their sheer hearing power. We're happy that this little guy can find the time to tune out the world and get some deserved rest.
A Calico Cat Nap
Just because you're a cat with a beauty schedule to maintain doesn't mean you don't need your sleep. If this gorgeous cat was a human they'd have a 10-step skincare routine they need to complete before falling asleep. Luckily, this kitty seems to know the value of beauty sleep.
This cat truly has some amazing fur! This is the kind of mixing and matching that will land them on the cover of Vogue! Hopefully, they can find the time for a photoshoot in their busy sleep schedule.
A Puppy Burito
We've all been to Chipotle and been in awe about the sheer amount of stuff that they can fit into one tiny burrito. Seriously, how are tortillas able to hold so much? This dog looked at his blanket and definitely had the same thought...
This bark-rrito is giving his human major "I'm ready for bed" eyes. All he seems to want before some well-deserved shut-eye is a glass of water, a story, and maybe a side of sour cream. No guacamole if it's extra though.
More Toes Require More Sleep
A polydactyl kitty is the cutest thing you've never heard of before... a kitty with thumbs. We hope you're sitting down because these little balls of fur will shock you with their adorableness and their sleepiness.
Don't worry, this sweet little girl's thumbs aren't doing her any harm. Polydactylism is a genetic anomaly that causes more than one toe to appear on one or more of the cat's paws so it's not harmful. Also, there's a chance that she's got parents and siblings with the condition, and we'd pay to see them all napping together. Just saying.
Wrapped Up In A Towel After A Bath
There's nothing like a bath before bedtime, and we stand behind that statement. Morning showerers will never know the pure bliss of crawling into bed clean, smelling good, and all toasty from the warm water. This post-bath puppy is the spokes-dog for the bedtime bath cause.
Just look at those big eyes! This little sweetheart is ready for her parents to bring her to bed and she's giving them the puppy-dog eyes to speed the process along. Come on, she's bathed and ready!
A Puppy In Pajamas
A sleepy dog in doggie pajamas, that's it. If that's not the key to melting your heart then nothing will. This little pupper fell asleep wearing some custom PJs that say "woof" on them, and our hearts couldn't be any fuller as a result.
Just look how blissed-out he looks laying there! He's so cozy and content in his cool PJs that he doesn't even need a pillow to rest his head. This is the level of contented napping that I aspire to reach.
Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed
Some days you wake up and it's so hard to leave your bed. Those warm covers and comfortable pillows just suck you in and make you hit snooze on your alarm clock. When you actually have to get up you feel exactly how this cat looks.
This sweet kitty was just rudely awakened from her comfortable blanket nest at an ungodly hour and is feeling a certain type of way about it. We can't tell whether this face says more "it's Monday" or if it says how we feel every morning.
A Collar And A Collared Shirt
When you're sick and in pain, sometimes it's the little gestures that really increase your comfort and make a world of difference. We all have our comfort items that we reach for when we're feeling down. In this case, this poor sick kitty reached for what she knew would cheer her up — her dad's shirt.
Her dad's shirt swaddles her so perfectly and we bet that it just makes her pain just disappear. We hope she gets better soon! Knowing the power of a good sentimental blanket, we know she will.
Matching PJs
There's nothing more fun than buying your kids, or your pets, an adorable onesie to sleep in. Seriously, they just look so freaking cute in those PJs that our hearts just melt anytime we see those outfits. But this pup and his mom have gone next level with the PJ cuteness.
Just look at how sweet and happy these two are cuddled up on the sofa together! This is the kind of bond we all aspire to have with our pets. Excuse me while I order matching onesies for myself and my dog now.
He Didn't Want To Be Woken
We've all felt like the world is way too loud early in the morning. Whether it's other people in your house, the birds, or the traffic outside, we've all been in a situation where we put our pillow over our heads and hope it stops soon. That happened to this kitty and we feel his pain... but that doesn't stop it from being adorable though.
Look at those eyes — they say "mom please get the camera out of my face, it's 7 am and I'm up because of you." We're sorry little guy, but we're not that sorry because we get to see this cute photo.
What You Do When There Aren't Any Blankets
Now here's a picture that'll have people saying "same." A lack of blankets won't stop this kitty from her afternoon nap. A pair of crocs and water bottle might not be as comfortable. But does it matter? As long as she gets her nap in, she's good!
College students who can't find their blanket may relate to this cat. Sundays aren't a good day for cleaning. And this cat sure isn't going to lick her fur clean--this is her lazy Sunday. Shhh. Let her sleep.
Sleeping At The Wheel
Many people don't hit the treadmill on a Sunday morning. Good for these gophers! Of course, everyone feels exhausted after an intense workout. Should they hop over to bed? Nah. It's much easier to just sleep on the wheel.
If you look at it a certain way, these gophers are rocking themselves to sleep. Or at least, one of them is. The other is stuck on the wheel until her friend wakes up. Oops. He might as well take a nap along with her. There's nothing like a cuddling session during lazy days.
A Liquid Cat
Have you ever hung your feet off the bed? This is the cat version of that. This kitty went halfway off the bed before saying, "screw it." If that isn't lazy day vibes, we don't know what is.
As we've already seen, cats don't have be in a bed to cuddle up and nap. They can be on a couch, a floor, or in a hallway. Nap time is nap time, no matter where they are. It's admirable and, honestly, enviable. We wish we could nap anywhere we want.
A Disappearing Guinea Pig
Would you know this was a guinea pig if we didn't tell you? He may not be visible, but he sure has his priorities in order. Blankets: check. Snacks: check. Everything this fluffy boy could ever want is at his disposal.
When you're having a lazy day, your priorities change. People may throw on a big sweater or keep their PJs on all day. Guinea pigs break out a blanket and carrot. Honestly, we agree with his choices, although his snack is likely healthier than ours.
A Rabbit Taking A Nap
Beds are so last year. So are couches. If you want to take a nap while watching TV, try sleeping on an ottoman. That's what this bunny did, and look how comfortable he is. He's practically melting into that ottoman.
The perk of being so small is that you can sleep anywhere. And the benefit of being furry is that you'll be warm anywhere. Who wants to watch your favorite shows with a lazy bunny? We do. How could anyone say no to an adorably sleepy rabbit?
This Bed Is Occupied
The ultimate lazy day position is to lay in bed all day. That's what this cat and dog are aiming for. They have the right idea to take their owner's bed before she can. They probably conspired--"hey, let's take mom's bed before she can crawl into it!"
To be fair, their owner can squeeze in between her pets. That would create the ultimate comfy Sunday. And can we admire how well this cat and dog get along? It's like a Disney movie come to life.
A Foot As A Pillow
Now this is a picturesque image of a lazy Sunday. On this day, the dog took the ideal carpet spot. So where's the cat to sleep? On her owner's foot, of course. Dad isn't going to move until this furry buddy wakes up.
In the Reddit post, the user mentioned that his cat is 17 and his dog is 15. What's more adorable than old pets? They deserve all the naps in the world. They've had long, hard lives, and here is their comfy retirement.
Another Doggie Burrito
There's nothing cuter than a dog bundled up in a blanket burrito. This pup has the right idea on a lazy Sunday, or any day to be honest. We'd rather be doing what this dog is doing. Above him, there's a cat hanging out on top of the couch.
"This is the closest my pets have ever cuddled," the original poster said. "My heart is happy." Our hearts are happy too. Maybe the cat will also roll into a burrito, and we'll see a picture of two sushi pets. Maybe we should stop comparing pets to food.
A Sleepy Rat
People who think rats are gross likely haven't owned one as a pet. Rats are very cuddly animals. They're also social; if you have more than one rat, they'll often sleep on top of each other. This is an example of a snuggly rat.
"My lazy weirdo Root having a nap," the poster captioned this image. First off, amazing name for a rat. Second, look how comfy he is! There has never been a more cuddly image on the internet. We want that blanket and that pet. Just kidding, we won't take someone's pet. But can we at least pet him?
She Doesn't Want To Get Up
This dog is completely set for her lazy Sunday (even though it's actually Monday -- the days of the week don't mean much to her). She's even resting on a stack of two plush beds, and has a toasty fire to keep the wintry cold air at bay.
You can tell by the expression on her face that she has absolutely no plans to budge, no matter what. The only thing that this pup is getting out of bed for today is a treat or maybe a walk -- with her warm jacket on, of course.
A Real Couch Potato
Meet Daisy, who's just going to continue snoozing on that comfy couch as we talk about her. She's apparently had a rough day of lounging around so she needs to de-stress with a leisurely nap on the sofa.
Daisy is so relaxed that her tongue is hanging out of her mouth, although we've been told that it doesn't actually FIT into her mouth so maybe that's the reason it's sticking out. Either way, Daisy looks as cozy and content as could be. We're jealous.
Tucked In Tight
Judging by the way this dog is dressed (in a knitted pajama set complete with a hood) and tucked in (tightly, and with a large pillow under her head), we're going to assume that she is about to begin hibernating for the winter.
This looks like more than a casual nap, this setup is for some serious sleepy time. She looks so comfortable and happy, we'd hate to disturb her for anything.
A Stuffed Piggy For Comfort
Awwww, there's seriously nothing quite as adorable as a pet that has a favorite toy. This precious kitty has a stuffed pig that he even sleeps with! Just look at how he's holding it in his paws. That's some real love right there.
This cat knows that the best lazy Sunday is shared with others. So he made sure to include his BFF the piggy in his Sunday naptime plans. Major purrs!
Surrounded By Toys
Here's another pampered pet that enjoys sharing naptime with his toys. Unlike that last cat, though, the dog here wants to be completely surrounded by toys when he naps. We count at least seven toys in this scene but there are probably a bunch more that are hidden under the covers or off to the side of the picture.
We just hope the pupper is able to get some quiet time and that his stuffed animals aren't too distracting during his nap!
