Cat owners sometimes note that their pets can sometimes frighten family members by sleeping with their eyes open.
It actually looks a bit unusual and strange.
Some people start to worry about the animal's health, but the cat's anatomy allows it to sleep with its eyes open.
In what cases is this behavior typical for a pet?
Caution
Not everyone knows that in their natural environment, cats can rarely allow themselves to fully “switch off”, as they are on guard.
A potential enemy may appear and attack precisely at the moment of sleep. If the eyes are open, then it is possible to notice the enemy in time and take the necessary measures, experts believe.
Uncomfortable environment
A cat, like a human, needs silence for a good night's sleep. However, if we are talking about daytime sleep, when all family members are active, the pet may feel uncomfortable.
Fear of skipping meals
Cats can simultaneously rest and watch their owner go to replenish their food supply. In order not to miss such an important moment, the pet decides to sleep with its eyes open.
