16 Cats Cozying Up Next To The Fireplace

By  Travis Greenwood Updated

And by cozying up I mean literally getting as close to it as they can — without self-combusting.

1. "Shavvy continues to be fascinated by the fireplace, staring at it for long periods of time. I'm pretty sure the fire has awakened some ancestral witchy-ness and she's been chanting spells in her mind. Hopefully they're good spells 🤞🏽!"

Definitely plotting something nefarious right now.

2. "I aspire to this level of chill ... or anti-chill chillness"

Just make sure you turn your cat over to keep the tan lines consistent.

Would watch.

14. "Earcraft C4RT3R to ground control, the craft has toppled over! I repeat, the earcraft is toppled over, possibly to intense hot air streams exhausting the craft. Awaiting instructions, passengers cozied down and unwilling to re-locate."
