A trio of Siberian cats from Italy named Turbo, Piuma, and Pila have left internet viewers in stitches when their owner shared what they did right after she changed the sheets on her bed.

In the viral clip, shared on Instagram in May, under the username @turbo_piuma_pila, the three fluffy cats can be seen stretching their entire bodies as they enjoy an afternoon nap on the owner's clean sheets, as if they had been changed for their pleasure.

A caption reads: "When you put fresh sheets on the bed." It is followed by: "An afternoon nap is essential to recharge the energy used during [their] nighttime runs. Happy Monday everyone, cat Mondays are definitely better than ours!"

Cats are notorious for having a preference for clean clothes, especially those fresh out of the washer, but why do they like laundry so much? Cat-wellness experts at Catster magazine say that this behavior may be due to a number of reasons.

It may be because the laundry is warm, or because they like the basket you are using, but it can also be that it reminds them of you. In fact, cats have a sense of smell that is about 14 times stronger than humans, so, even after you wash your clothes, your pet can still smell you.

"Cats may also be drawn to sit on clean laundry to reintroduce familiar smells that were washed away," the website added.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 1.7 million views and almost 100,000 views on the platform.

One user, surrounded_by_enemies, commented: "The center one looks like its smiling super contently while asleep!"

Steven_m3 posted: "Can't be mad at them for liking the fresh sheets lol [laugh out loud]."

Siberian_monster_maki wrote: "That is so sweet of you to make the bed for them! I do love to fluff a crispy clean sheet!"

Another user, philomachus.pugnax, shared: "Ahhh, that's such a nice and fresh smell... and so soft and clean! Let's put some hair on it!"

Kaizoku_no_aojiroi added: "Seriously, though- what is it with cats and fresh sheets? Mine loves it when I change them."
