• Now that is one seriously flexible kitty. We’re not entirely sure how Altima managed to twist herself into a full-on tuxedo pretzel, but she certainly looks comfortable with her choices. Cats already seem to treat bones as optional, and this little girl is starting early. Legs going in every direction, paws tucked who knows where, and somehow she can still fall asleep like this is a completely normal position. We’d need a chiropractor after five minutes, but Altima makes it look easy.

• Altima might be one of the most fitting names a cat has ever received. If you’re going to be discovered hiding in a car wheel well after hitching a mystery ride, you pretty much have to get a car-themed name out of the deal. Now every time someone asks where her name came from, there’s a whole story behind it. Hopefully this Altima will be spending the rest of her life parked safely on the couch instead of anywhere near another wheel.

• Altima is already such a little cutie, so just imagine how adorable she’s going to be when she grows up. Those tiny paws will get bigger, her personality will really start coming out, and hopefully she’ll keep some of those ridiculous pretzel sleeping positions. She’s still just a baby with plenty of growing to do, but we can already tell she’s going to turn into one seriously cute cat. Her foster hooman better keep the camera ready.
