For many of us, pets are like babies, and just like babies they look cute when they sleep. They hug their favorite toys, they keep their mouths open and drool, and they can fall asleep anywhere and in any position. We tiptoe as we come closer to take a pic of these sleeping angels, and try our best not to wake them up.
Here at Bright Side we want to show you these 19 sleepy pets to help you relax, so don’t get too surprised if you suddenly feel an urge to curl up with your cozy blanket!
1. Hamster pancakes
2. "I moved his bed so I could vacuum and came back to this."
3. "This is how these 2 sleep."
4. "My sister’s cats sleep like this every night."
5. Some cats know how to chill out right.
6. "This is how my dog is sleeping right now..."
7. "Almost 18 years old and she's still sleeping with the toy frog she's had for 14 years."

10. "This is Pyro, he loves to sit like this in people's arms and fall asleep."
