My cat Hobbes is about 1 and a half yrs old. Ever since she was a kitten she has had this weird habit of lying on her stomach with her back legs straight out, with her paw pads facing up. The shelter workers from the rescue center I adopted her from knicknamed her the "frog legs" kitten, lol.
I was wondering if anyone else has a cat that lays like this. I have had many cats and have never seen this. My vet has checked out Hobbes' legs and said there is nothing wrong with her; she's probably double-jointed just like some people are. Hobbes seems quite comfortable in this position. She does this daily and even naps like this sometimes.
Here's a picture of her in her frog legs pose:

Awwww! She is so cute. I have a kitten that does the same thing. He is always laying around on his back with his back legs all stretched out. Not many cats do this but I have found that he is the most relaxed and calm cat I have ever had.

Your Kitty's OK. Mine do that but it is just the girl. the boys don't. I never thought about the part of it before.
