18 Pets in Uncomfortably Cute Poses That Will Melt Your Heart

We love our pets, but no matter how many hours we spend together or how many partially-imagined, one-sided conversations we have with them, there are still some things we just don't understand about the animals who share our homes.

Like, for example, how they can POSSIBLY be comfortable in some of the positions we catch them lounging in. But leave it to dogs and cats (and pigs, apparently) to look totally zen in the most objectively uncomfortable positions we've ever seen. Here are 18 that did just that.

1. “I want to know when you get home, but I also want to take a nap."

2. “This corner was custom made for my face.”
