Why do some cats lay down and others fall over?

thlslsborlng asked:


I’ve been around cats all my life and have two of my own at the moment. I’ve noticed some cats when they go to lay down will just fall over sideways while others will lay down gently. In my findings most of the fall over cats are always the extremly friendly ones. Has anyone else ever noticed this and how does your cat lay down?

    My experience it appears to be personality trait just like some cats will actively seek your affection petting while others dont go searching for you but will actively seek your affection petting while others dont go searching for you but will gladly accept it appears to be personality trait just like some cats will gladly accept it appears.
