Sometimes, all you need to cheer yourself up is a cat doing something… well, just something! And what if that random thing is also completely bizarre? Well, one Threads user came up with an idea: ask others to share photos of their cats in the most awkward positions.

Needless to say, plenty of people answered the call and were eager to show the weirdest positions they’ve found their pets in.

The post quickly turned into a collection of cats bending, sitting, sleeping, and generally existing in ways that make very little sense. Because if there’s one thing cats are good at, it’s finding the most uncomfortable-looking position and somehow looking perfectly cozy in it.

Now, scroll down and enjoy some of the most awkward and hilarious cat poses people shared. Hopefully, they’ll give you the mood boost you were looking for, too!
