Cute cat from Northampton snuggled up in bed decided to be among the sleepiest pets in UK

A cute cat from Northampton snoozing in bed has made a top 15 for the sleepiest pets in the UK.

Online bed and mattress company Bed SOS launched a competition to find the nation’s sleepiest pets.

After receiving more than 650 entries, judges decided Emma Asante's cat, Kit, was among the best, coming 15th in the final list.

Bed SOS managing director Danny Richmond said: “The standard of the entries was incredibly high and we faced the almost impossible task of narrowing down hundreds of adorable pictures of pets to select the winner.

"We felt that Amy’s entry perfectly showcases just how cute, and strange, pets can be!”

Amy Briscoe from Southampton was chosen as the winner and will receive a brand new bed worth up to £400.

Amy’s picture of her cat, Spartacus, sleeping awkwardly on a towel rail had the judges in stitches.
