I imagine this is how I look when people try to wake me up.

People seem to be worried that the cat was in some way sedated and/or dead while being messed with. While I cannot say for sure what the deal is with the cat in this gif, I have caught my cat in a really deep sleep like that before. I tried to wake it up for quite a while, at first thinking it was quite hilarious but then getting a little scared until it finally woke up. My cat hadn't been on any medication or anesthesia, but I do remember it was a really hot day that day. Maybe that's why the mini kitty coma.

Anyway, I have a video of it and if anyone wants to see it I will dig it up and post it.

Edit Here's the video. Sorry about the background noise.

I worked in a shelter for a while.

One of the cats did this while dangling his head between the wall and his litter box. His neck looked broken, his eyes were rolled back, and his tongue flopped out. I seriously thought I'd found a dead cat. It took 2 more supervisors to determine he was merely sleeping.

I can confirm this: this is exactly what ChiefffFG31 looks like when we're all standing over him, chanting

I think this is a dying cat being played backwards.

My first thought: "Why is he petting a dead cat?"

my old cat looked a lot like this right after he got neutered. because of the anesthesia. i don't like the idea of messing with a cat in this condition... well, i kinda do, but only if it's not harming/bothering the cat in any way.

Imagine all the hilarious things you could do with your cat if they did this regularly.

I've had a cat actually do that. My mom freaks out because they look dead and makes me wake them up.

Is reddit stealing from whatshoulwecallme.tumblr, or is it the other way around?

Does anyone know why this happens to sleeping cats sometimes? One time I saw my cat twitching in his sleep and when I went to wake him up he wouldn't respond (like in this gif) and just kept twitching. It scared me a lot. After a minute of a little shaking on my part he woke up and walked over to his bowl demanding food. Does anyone know why this happens to sleeping cats sometimes?

On an unrelated note, why do sleeping cats and dogs eyes seem to "roll in the back of their head", and all you see are the whites of their eyes.

thats messed up cause the cat is defiantly waking up from anesthesia.... but on the bright side it won't remember anything
