As all cat-lovers know, every moggy has moments when they seem almost human in their behaviour.
Now, a new internet craze celebrates the feline friends who like to sit back and relax in style. A host of websites, viral emails and blogs have been circulating pictures of ‘cats that sit like humans’ — and they’ve even been featured on TV. Here we give you the best of the kitty couch potatoes.

Whiskas: But I'm not as old as I look
Paws for thought: In pensive mood
Cat napping: Dreaming of a sunbed holiday...perhaps Catalonia this year, or Felixstowe
Cat's the way to do it: Just lie back and relax, dinner's almost ready
Sitting kitty: How to look cool on a couch
Feline groovy: It's funny how humans sit like us
Miaow to look good naked: It's easy when you are born with lush fur
Catatonic: It's a hard life...all that eating, sleeping and preening...
The mog-father: I'll make you an offer you can't refuse
Kitten heels: All dressed up for a night on the town with the girls
Purrfect pose: Take the picture quickly, I'm about to fall over
