People Are Sharing Funny Photos Of Their Long Cats That Seem To Stretch To Infinity And Beyond

It’s no secret that cats are one of the most flexible creatures on this planet. And when they stretch, they are able to contort their bodies into all kinds of positions. You only need to look at these hilarious photos of cats stretching to see what we mean. Our feline companions can really extend their flexible bodies to unbelievable lengths that oftentimes look so ridiculously funny. And if there’s only an Olympic event for stretching, cats would surely win the gold.

But why do cats stretch so much? Just like humans, animals can also benefit from stretching exercises. This activity increases blood flow and range of motion while it decreases muscle stiffness. Not to mention that relaxing feeling it gives that can help us reduce or manage stress. Cats, in particular, constantly stretch their bodies to get their muscles moving again after long periods of inactivity. On the average, our feline pets sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day, which is twice as much as we do. Prolonged idleness causes muscles to shorten and become tight. Furthermore, joints can become weaker and less flexible when they’re less active.

So once they wake up from their long slumber, the first thing they naturally do is stretch as much as they could. Since they have elastic bodies, they seem to stretch ‘till infinity. More surprisingly, they can also bend and twist their bodies as they stretch. So without further ado, here are the funniest examples of cats stretching in the most hilarious and most awkward positions.
