But before you despair, it isn’t over yet. Let’s learn from the catnap masters and find the best places to spend some time in the sun. These 50 cats can show us how to do this right meow — I mean, now.
This plaid-loving cat knows the key to getting more sun: windows. Four windows along two walls sure does optimize the intake.
Did this cat influence his interior designer owner to purchase a sofa that would camouflage him during naps? Maybe. What better way to ensure no one bothers you.
If you have two windows, have a friend join you. Ruca and Lola catch some rays while people watching from their owner’s studio apartment in Dallas.
Even if hardwood floors aren’t your style, a plushy chair should be. Pull it close to the window, and you’ll have the perfect place to catch a few zzzs.
The name gives it away, but the sunroom offers even more light than a traditional living room with windows.
Even if it’s a small sunroom, floor-to-ceiling windows let all the sunshine flood onto your favorite spot on the rug.
Sometimes you need a snack before you nap, and you aren’t able to settle down in the living room. If that’s the case, the dining room table might be the place to relax.
This Siamese cat steals the show, and probably a few treats, while resting on the kitchen floor. If there isn’t enough sun in this spot, it’s easy to mosey out the door to the patio furniture.
Can you say wine fridge? It’s as if this cat is inviting us over to pour a glass of wine and sip it in the summer sun.
These two cats walk a few steps and they’ve gone from kitchen to terrace. Weather permitting, this is the perfect way to bring summer’s warmth inside.
Run outside now. And then up a ladder to a little observatory basket. This cat owner in Italy added these baskets so her four felines had somewhere to rest in the garden.
If you live in a small home, head outside to stretch your legs. Who knows, you might find fun places to climb, like a fence.
Welcome to the jungle, otherwise known as the backyard. This lion king eyes a spot on the bench under the overflowing planters.
After a morning of fun in the sun, sneak through the gate and relax. You’ve earned it, or at least this cat thinks so.
Sunshine can also highlight small details in a garden. A curious texture on the hardscape catches the attention of this cat as it makes its way through the garden.
Sometimes it’s all about finding the right place to sit. A log lifts this inquisitive cat up into a full spray of light.
The entryway window in this New York home provides a perch for certain household members to greet visitors as they arrive.
By request, I’m sure, this cat has his bed right up against the window in his owner’s loft in Brooklyn, New York.
Even through living rooms, kitchens, gardens and windows offer great sunning locations, the bedroom is the ultimate catnap spot.
At night, it’s great to have a dark bedroom, but during the day, throw open those curtains and brighten up the dark-colored walls.
This black cat wasn’t looking to hide during its nap. It chose to take refuge in a white, white, white room.
Eli the cat looks forward to catnaps at his owner’s Wisconsin vacation home. Why else would you have a vacation home?
Remember to roll up the shades and take in the view, especially if you have a beautiful New York skyline to admire.
Don’t forget to enjoy the bedroom details: the headboard you fell in love with, the pillows that bring a pop of color, the linen duvet cover.
And lastly, remember there’s plenty of sun left for everyone. These two Burmese cats, Le Golgot and Grendel, know that sometimes naps are simply better with a friend.
