Is this a normal way for a cat to sleep? He is a rescue and I’m pretty sure his hips were injured at some point, so I always thought that this was related. But we’ve just gotten a kitten who started doing it too.
I think it would be weirder if your cat DIDN’T have some unusual way they like to sit.
An excellent point!
I don’t think there’s a position cats don’t sleep/lie/sit in.
Cats sleep, anywhere, Any table, any chair Top of piano, window-ledge, In the middle, on the edge, Open drawer, empty shoe, Anybody's lap will do, Fitted in a cardboard box, In the cupboard, with your frocks- Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

My wife thought this was our cat and when I said it was a post she tried to show me where in our house I took it.
So I guess what I’m saying is yes, my cat does this
Weird way to find out OP also lives in your house.
Yep.
Definitely no injuries sustained in his life. Just a regular 'ol weirdo.
Oh das a beautiful boi.
Cats are liquid
Very normal. The Loaf is also a pretty common cat pose.
We have a ginger that looks practically identical and he lays like this often. He likes to stretch those back leggies out.
