The Ultimate Guide to Nap Spots — by Molly the Cat

Hello, nap-loving hooman. It’s me again—Molly, professional sleeper, blanket burrower, and queen of the 17-hour snooze. You may think you know about naps… but you, dear reader, are merely a beginner.

Allow me to whisker you away on a journey to the finest nap spots, all paw-picked and purr-approved by yours truly.

Window Cill Napping

🪟 1. The Sunny Window Sill (aka The Solar Charging Station)

Oh. My. Whiskers. This one is a classic. The sunbeam hits just right, the windowsill is warm, and if a bird flies past? Bonus entertainment.

Rating: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Best used: Mid-morning. Warm toes, happy soul.

Couch Napping

🛋️ 2. That One Spot on the Couch (You Know the One)

It’s always slightly sunken from where you sit all the time. Smells like you, feels like me. I leave some fur there as a gift. You're welcome.

Rating: 🛋️🛋️🛋️🛋️
Best used: Lazy afternoons, when you're watching TV and I'm pretending not to watch you back.

Washing Nappig

🧺 3. The Fresh Laundry Pile (Still Warm? Even Better.)

Ahhh... freshly dried clothes. Soft. Toasty. Perfect for making biscuits before curling into a donut. I don’t care if it’s your “good shirt”—this pile belongs to meow now.

Rating: 👕👕👕👕👕
Best used: Immediately. Strike before the folding begins.

Bed Napping

🛏️ 4. Right in the Middle of Your Bed

Why would I sleep anywhere else when your bed exists? It’s big, squishy, and smells delightfully like “nap.” I especially enjoy taking your spot just before bedtime.

Rating: 💤💤💤💤💤
Best used: Nighttime, naptime, all-the-time.

Box Napping

📦 5. A Box. Any Box. Especially a Tiny One.

I do not understand physics, nor do I care. If I fits, I definitely sits. Or naps. Or stares at you while you wonder how I squeezed in.

Rating: 📦📦📦📦
Best used: When you least expect it.

Wardrobe Napping

🧦 6. Inside the Wardrobe (Secret Nap Level: Expert)

Dark. Quiet. Smells like socks. Perfect for an uninterrupted nap. You may call it “hiding”—I call it strategic cozy deployment.

Rating: 🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦
Best used: Rainy days and introvert moods.

Laptop Napping

💼 7. On Your Laptop or Keyboard (Nap & Annoy Combo Pack)

Warm surface? Check. Maximum attention-stealing? Check. Bonus chaos if you were doing something “important.”

Rating: 😼😼😼😼
Best used: During Zoom calls or while you’re writing emails.

Lap Napping

🧸 Bonus Spot: Curled Up on You

Sometimes, the best nap spot is you. Your lap, your chest, your legs, even your face. I'm not picky. If I start purring and you stop moving? That’s a win.

Rating: 💖💖💖💖💖
Best used: All day. Every day. Forever.

🐾 Final Nap-Thoughts from Molly:

You see, hooman, a nap isn’t just a nap. It’s an art form. A lifestyle. A whiskered pursuit of peace and perfect pillows. Respect the nap. Cherish the nap.

And most importantly: never move a sleeping cat.

Now scram. I’m off to nap #6 of the day.
Purrs and paw-stretches,
Molly the Cat 🐾💤💕
