Hilarious Cats Are Using Parking Bumpers As Pillows
Parking bumpers are not supposed to double as cat pillows, but that is exactly what people started noticing in one Japanese neighborhood. A Twitter user shared photos of sleepy cats resting their heads on the concrete stops, and the images quickly turned into a viral conversation about why cats seem so drawn to them.
The post spread fast, pulling in millions of likes and a flood of replies from cat lovers around the world. Some people found the scene hilarious, while others wanted to know whether the cats were simply being goofy or if there was a reason behind the pose.
Either way, the internet could not get enough of these tiny nap spots.
If you are trying to Google the objects that cats use for pillows, this might help: parking bumpers are known by many different names, including bumper blocks, wheel stops, parking chocks, chock blocks, and others.
Cars are strange and mysterious creatures, and they earn that reputation because they do things just like the one we are discussing. They also enjoy head bunts.
That little detail only made the cat photos funnier.

“I would be willing to bet that if something soft and cozy were provided as an option, they would choose that over a parking bumper. However, if they are an indoor/outdoor cat or a feral cat, they are essentially using this as a pillow!” Ingrid clarified.
The feline expert added that cats also love the sun and heat. “Concrete often heats up and provides a nice warm place to sunbathe.”
When asked if cats have preferred positions, she responded, “This is absolutely an individual preference but is also based on circumstance and their environment at the time.”
The explanation did not make the photos any less adorable.
This is similar to the cat owner who found a hollow carved in his cat’s basket-shaped scratching post.
