If your cat regularly sleeps at your feet, you've probably wondered why she sleeps there instead of next to you.

We explain what it means if a cat sleeps at its owner’s feet.

Why does a cat lie at your feet?

Zoologists answer this question differently. Firstly, a cat lies down at your feet because it is not only warm there, but also comfortable.

At the foot of the bed, the cat does not risk being crushed by its owner tossing and turning in his sleep.

Zoologists also believe that the reason is in the hierarchical nature of the relationship between cats and their owners.

Cats do not claim leadership in the family, so they are content with a place at the feet.

If your cat often sleeps at your feet, it means that it recognizes you as the leader and pack leader.
