Planking, draped and folded in half: Adorable pictures of cats sleeping in awkward positions show they REALLY DO sleep anywhere

In need of something cute? Cue the kittens!
While cats are already known to sleep anywhere, with books and websites helping document it, one collection of pictures really raises the bar on awkward.
Seen draped over a laundry rack, spooning one another on a couch, and even in one cat's case planking in camouflaging white fur and bed sheets, the cats may also steer the envious idea that they get far more deeper and relaxing sleep than we do.
Of course, with one cat seen nearly passed out inside a dyer, and another across the a face of a dog, this may not always be such a good and safe thing, especially in the case of the cat passed out on a hot tin roof.

Warmth: Another cat curls up in some warm laundry, a potentially dangerous move should the door close on him
