How cute! Charlie doesn't sploot, he either curls up or does the kitty loaf position. :)

I tend to associate this position in animals with knee tiredness or achiness. My cat has done this when her knees (prone to luxating patellas, now having been fixed by surgeries) have been overused in playtime or they feel a bit sore. I've seen a lot of small dogs with shorter legs do this position as well.

Well, I'm glad I looked at this thread and found out what a sploot was. When I first read the title I thought a sploot sounded like something unpleasant you would find in the litterbox! :lol:
I thought the same thing! I wondered if it was wise to open on the train...

Luckily Sploots are adorable! I've never had a cat that did it though

Yeah I thought the same thing and I’ll have to look and see if I can catch a kitty splooting.
