Sleep. Is there anything more perfect and beautiful in this world? Perhaps, but whatever it is, we guarantee it’s not as cheap as sleep is!
The only thing that could possibly make sleep better is a kitten. We’re still working out the specifics, but we think we’ll have the napping-kitten blanket ready for all your deep rest needs next year. In the mean time, check out a video of a kitten who can fall asleep faster than you can say, “Holy cow, that was a long day! I sure am zzzzzzzzzzzz…”
The video, uploaded to YouTube by user “wan paku,” features a female kitten by the name of Monaka wrestling with an enormous human hand. After only a few seconds of activity, the little cat just…falls asleep! Her owner, perhaps feeling lonely, rudely wakes the kitten up. Not ready to give in to Mr. Sandman just yet, the kitten gets into it with the relentless hand again!
…Only to fall asleep a few seconds later. Well, we guess kittens don’t get prizes for persistence, do they?
▼Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…
This isn’t just cute and adorable–it’s life changing. Someone get that kitty a book deal! We’d pay just about anything to be able to fall asleep that fast. Wouldn’t it be great? No more lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, worrying about the economy, natural disasters, or reptilian overlords.
