Many cats have a strange habit of falling on their side, rolling over onto their back and showing their belly when they see their owner.

We explain what this behavior of your pet means.

Why does a cat fall on its side?

Firstly, cats do this when they greet their owner. The pet shows that it has been waiting and has missed them.

Secondly, the reason may be the cat's playful mood. By lying on its side, the cat shows its owner that it is not against playing.

These are the most common reasons. But if the cat falls to the side when walking, this may indicate a serious illness.
