This Tuxedo Cat Folded Himself Into a Plant Holder Like a Furry Little Croissant and We Are Obsessed
Cats spend their entire lives proving that the expensive bed we bought them was merely a suggestion.
That's why I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw Ivan, a Tuxedo cat with absolutely no regard for gravity, folded into a macrame plant holder like a furry little croissant. Somehow, he looks completely comfortable, which raises even more questions.
@ivansaidwhat This is just too much #fyp#kittensoftiktok#catreels#friend#pet

In the adorable video shared by @ivansaidwhat, Ivan can be seen peacefully snoozing inside the hanging plant holder while his cat mom talks to him. He briefly wakes up, stretches like he's been sleeping on a king-sized mattress instead of suspended yarn, and then immediately goes right back to sleep.
Frankly, if I slept in that position for 5 minutes, I'd need physical therapy and a heating pad.

Apparently, Cats Are Made of Rubber
As the video continues, viewers get a better look at Ivan's impressive sleeping arrangement. One back paw appears to be functioning as a pillow while the rest of his body somehow remains neatly tucked inside the macrame cradle.
Naturally, TikTok commenters had plenty to say about the Tuxedo cat's unusual napping skills.
"The beans are sprouting so well this year!" one person joked.
"The fact that cats can sleep like that and not hurt their back and neck is something to be envious of, especially the older we get," another viewer wrote.
"So his back paw is his pillow? Does he give yoga lessons? That's impressive," someone else commented.
Meanwhile, another kitty lover summed up the situation perfectly: "I'm convinced cats have no bones."
Honestly, I think scientists could study cats for another hundred years, and we'd still never understand how they manage to sleep like pretzels and wake up feeling refreshed.
Why Cats Love Small, Enclosed Spaces

Cats are naturally drawn to cozy, enclosed spaces because they make them feel safe and protected. In the wild, small hiding spots help felines avoid predators while also providing a secure place to rest. That's why many house cats seem to prefer boxes, baskets, laundry hampers, and other oddly shaped napping locations over the expensive beds we lovingly purchased for them.
Enclosed spaces can also help cats conserve body heat and reduce stress, which may explain why Ivan looked perfectly content curled up inside his macrame plant holder. While humans might see an awkward sleeping arrangement, kitties often see the ideal combination of comfort and security.
