I think some people just want to look at cute photos of cats without thinking about negative things. I can understand that. But if I posted a photo of my cat exhibiting what could be a symptom of a serious problem that I wasn't aware of, I would want someone to tell me. I know OP said this is a repost, but I still think it's important for anyone who loves their cats to be able to tell if something is wrong. This doesn't look like normal cat behavior to me.

Two of my cats just used to sleep like that, one a lot and one not so much. They both lived to a grand old age in good health. I'm not saying that it can't be a problem but your cat may just be weird.

I'm not saying cats never do weird things, and the cat in this picture may be perfectly fine. But if my cat were doing this, I would take them to the vet to make sure because it could be a symptom of something serious. That's all I'm saying.

Well yeah, if you're worried, see a vet and pretty much certainly if they're head-pressing against a wall.
