Humans are not the only species worshipping the life-giving warmth of the Sun. Cats bask in the glowing rays of daylight whenever and wherever they can, and as these pictures show it, they enjoy it more than we ever will.

You might think that sheltering them, feeding them and buying them all sorts of scratchy toys would make your cats adore you more than anything else. It turns out that these furry goofballs prefer sunlight to any other proof of love you can provide.

From the tiniest kittens to the oldest felines there is no cat out there that will not lounge and slumber in the warmth of every sunspot they can find. Science says that their extremely high metabolism needs extensive sunlight to conserve energy better. We like to think that they are only recharging their batteries before getting into more shenanigans around the house.
