Corgi's Adorable 'Floating Drumstick' Paws Have Us Watching This Video on Repeat
Before we adopted our Corgi, Tater Tot, I had no clue about the breed. Admittedly, I should've done a little more research before bringing home a herding dog who would end up ushering our kids and cats up the stairs every chance she got, but she gets away with it because she's so cute.
Among the many weird, funny, and quirky things about her, it's the potato/loaf-shaped frame with adorable drumstick paws that are sure to make anyone melt. Another Corgi named Katsu reminds me of my girl in many ways, but it's his nap position with "floating drumstick" paws that hits really close to home.

For anyone who's never experienced a puff paint-looking Corgi and their mystifying sleeping positions, Katsu is here to teach you all a lesson! This way of catching some z's is standard in the breed's book, and it makes sense-their short legs don't let their feet touch the ground, so it really does look like they're floating!

Defying gravity and showing off his impossibly perfect drumsticks is how Katsu is making his way into the hearts of everyone blessed to see him. I know I feel a little happier when this angel shows up on my timeline, and I'm sure he and Tater would be the sweetest Corgi crushes if they could meet.
Relatable Things All Corgis Do
Napping with those stumpy limbs in the air is just one thing the breed's known for, but there are a few things I've learned that seem to be a universal understanding Corgi parents know and accept.
- They can be vocal, like when hearing a siren pass, and will "awoo" with everything in them.
- Herding isn't a hobby; it's a lifestyle, and they herd any and everything!
- They're almost always napping on their backs with their legs sprawled out to the sides.
- They're sociable, friendly, and the most amazing, loyal cheerleaders you'll ever have.
And like Katsu shows, they're known for having the most epic sploot of any dog, ever. I can confirm 13/10 times, this is how they'll be chillaxing!

Katsu is perfect in every way, whether he's giving his fans a show with those floating drumsticks or just being too adorable for words, and we are not worthy!
