Many cats like to jump onto their owners' laps, lie down right on their stomachs and sleep there.
We explain why cats like to sleep on their owners' stomachs.
Firstly, the cat is warm, comfortable and safe there, but this is far from the only reason.
Often a cat will climb onto its owner's belly when it believes that he has taken its place.
For example, if you sit in a chair that your cat likes to sleep in, he will most likely lie down on your stomach.
A cat may also lie on its owner's stomach simply to attract attention.
