This relaxed kitty gives us all a lesson in how to deep sleep on the sofa like a boss.
Cats in Japan have been showing off their remarkable skills lately, by talking to their owners, silencing them with their paws, and even rescuing their siblings from the hungry insides of a cardboard box. With so many exciting activities grabbing their attention throughout the day, it’s little wonder that cats need to take time out for a bit of shut-eye at frequent intervals. And for curious, active kittens like Tetsuro, that means zonking out on his back like a human, drifting off to a sleep so deep nothing will be able to wake him until he’s good and ready!

The pampered kitty loves sleeping on the couch like this, sprawled out like a boss with a soft cushion beneath his head. In fact, the cat has such a penchant for soft surfaces that his owner, Twitter user @goma_chips, is yet to find him sleeping somewhere other than a bed or a sofa! While Tetsuro previously charmed us all with a surprising bedtime snooze in the dark behind a closed door, now it seems that bright lights can’t stop him from dozing off, and getting tucked in by his doting human is all part of the luxurious lifestyle he’s becoming accustomed to.
▼ The gorgeous kitty looks like a contented anime character!
▼ Tucking him in under a green bandana and pulling his paws out over the cover does nothing to stir this chill kitten.
The adorable video has reignited everyone’s love for Tetsuro-kun, with users leaving comments like:
“I wanna doze off next to Tetsuro!”
“Even when he’s being covered up he doesn’t once open his eyes, not even slightly!”
“This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!”
“I can’t believe how sweet and docile he is! My pet would jump up immediately if I did this to him.”
“Tetsuro is absolutely adorable. I always look forward to his photos and videos!”
With more than 5,000 followers on Twitter, Tetsuro is already proving to be one of the internet’s most beloved kittens, and he hasn’t even turned one yet! For more cute updates on the cat’s charming antics, be sure to check him out on social media, where his sleepy naptime photos are sure to melt your heart.
