Cat’s Peculiar Resting Place Has Internet in Hysterics: ‘Panini Him’

A tuxedo cat has tickled the internet with its whimsical choice of resting place – a toastie machine.

Jeeves’ owner, who posts on social media under the handle @3cats_2moms, shared a fun video that captures the moment.

The clip showed all the potential places their black and white feline could rest, but to everyone’s amusement, Jeeve chose a sandwich toaster. The video received 37,918 likes and 399,000 views on Instagram.

“All these places to lie and he chooses this…,” the text overlay read, highlighting Jeeves’ unusual decision. Despite having options like a cat tree, bed, hammock and lounger, Jeeve clearly had other ideas. “Jeeve never met a place to lie he didn’t like,” the caption humorously added.

Cats are known to choose their resting places based on comfort, warmth and safety. According to the Blue Cross, cats often look for cozy nooks or elevated surfaces where they feel safe and relaxed.

Whether it’s a bed, a rug or even a kitchen appliance, they are drawn to places that provide a sense of security and warmth.

Catster also notes that cats often sleep in unusual places for a number of reasons, many of which are tied to their health, comfort or external environment.

For example, cats may seek out warmer or cooler locations based on seasonal changes, or they may choose hidden locations to feel safe or secure, avoiding disturbance from their human companions.

Some common reasons for these changes include a desire for privacy, responses to pain from chronic conditions such as arthritis, stress from household changes, or even a response to illness.

Although Jeeve seemed extremely happy with his spot on top of the mini grill and cat lovers couldn’t get enough of his latest snoozing spot.

Many viewers found the choice of toaster machine all too relatable. “Panini him,” one user joked, adding the playful comment.

“Let me guess he’s a burnt orange cat,” joked another, poking fun at the belief that orange cats are notorious for their bold and strange behavior.

One cat owner shared their own experiences with cat bed preferences: “We’ve stopped buying beds for our cat as she just won’t even try them. She enjoys sleeping on my $230 psychology textbook though.”

The humor didn’t stop there. Another viewer remarked, “I mean bread belongs in the sandwich maker, so,” rounding out the reactions with a perfect punchline.
