Send Me Your Weirdly Shaped Cat

One request, and the internet delivered an avalanche of cats defying geometry.

What's going on

Someone on Japanese social media posted a simple request: "Give me weirdly shaped cats." What followed was a flood of replies — owners rushing to submit photographic evidence that their cats had completely lost the plot when it comes to having a body.

Cats, as a species, seem constitutionally incapable of maintaining a normal shape. Whether melting into furniture, sleeping in positions that suggest no bones exist, or somehow folding themselves into a perfect cube, the cats in this thread are united by one thing: they look deeply, deeply wrong. And also incredible.

Here you go, if you’d like.
This one might not be a cat.
Two weeks after arriving at our house, it was already doing this.
It’s a cat. I challenge you!
Please accept this offering.
How’s this?
Sorry for jumping in from outside your followers 🙇 Please accept this.
Here.
Sleeping position.
That’s basically a perfect Shoryuken pose… (the Shoryuken is the iconic uppercut move from the Street Fighter series, executed with an upward-leaping fist)
Here you go 🐈
Here you go^ ^

My favorite is this one.
Mine.
Weird shape… maybe this?
My cat’s bizarre pose — turns out it was mid-grooming.

My take

I feel like my sense of what a cat is supposed to look like is starting to break down. Is that normal? Is that a cat?
