Not sure if this is your photo, but what this cat is doing could be a sign of a serious medical problem. If this is your cat, I would get this floofer to the vet ASAP.

Not sure why you are being downvoted - if anyone has a cat that does this, this is not typical cat behavior, it generally does mean something may be wrong with your cat. Yes. Some cats do it just because - but often times it does mean they are unwell and youl should get them to a vet.

I think some people just want to look at cute photos of cats without thinking about negative things. I can understand that. But if I posted a photo of my cat exhibiting what could be a symptom of a serious problem that I wasn't aware of, I would want someone to tell me. I know OP said this is a repost, but I still think it's important for anyone who loves their cats to be able to tell if something is wrong. This doesn't look like normal cat behavior to me.

Two of my cats just used to sleep like that, one a lot and one not so much. They both lived to a grand old age in good health. I'm not saying that it can't be a problem but your cat may just be weird.

I'm not saying cats never do weird things, and the cat in this picture may be perfectly fine. But if my cat were doing this, I would take them to the vet to make sure because it could be a symptom of something serious. That's all I'm saying.

Well yeah, if you're worried, see a vet and pretty much certainly if they're head-pressing against a wall.

The picture looks like the cat is asleep, which doesn't seem to be "head pressing". The picture looks like normal cat behavior to me.

My cat sometimes sleeps with his head down just like this, but he doesn’t do the head pressing thing described in the article posted above.

The cat is head pressing. It may also be asleep.

Not my cat but I've seen cats just do this randomly in sleep
