Many owners notice that sometimes domestic cats really like to rest in an interesting position with their paws tucked in.

This picture looks very touching and interesting.

But not everyone knows why the cat chose such an interesting pose for rest.

What are the main reasons?

The cat is happy and contented with everything

It is worth noting that a cat will tuck its paws only if it feels as comfortable and safe as possible. This means that the animal is relaxed and simply enjoys resting, experts believe.

From such a position it is very difficult to go on the attack if necessary, so it is worth understanding that the cat does not expect "unpleasant surprises" and a trick on your part.

Injury

If the cat has some kind of injury, it will begin to tuck its paws in. But in this case, the pet will also begin to lick them constantly.

In this case, the paws need to be quickly examined and, if necessary, taken to specialists.

Maintaining temperature

It is important to remember that cats are comfortable at a fairly high temperature. Therefore, your pet may tuck her paws in just to maintain the required temperature.

It is also believed that such an action helps the pet maintain energy balance.
