The most controversial pets are cats. There are many rumors about their ability to relieve stress, lift your mood, and even cure headaches.

Knowing about all these abilities, the owner may begin to worry if the cat suddenly starts sleeping on his head.

Experts explained what this could be connected with and whether we should expect trouble from such a “wake-up call”.

1. Warmth

Cats are really fond of everything warm and comfortable. Besides, lying on the owner's head, they not only feel warmth in cold weather, but also the smell, which gives them a sense of peace.

2. Protection

Cats openly use their owner's head to protect themselves from external threats. This is where they can feel most protected, especially at night.

3. Expression of feelings

Whatever scientists say about cats, cats have to express their love and affection in any way they can. They can purr and rub against their owner's head, which can be a sign of their love and satisfaction.

4. Relaxation

In the end, the cat also wants to lie down, relax and rest. And pets can relieve stress and tension accumulated during the day only in complete safety.

In other words, you shouldn’t chase away a cat if it has taken to sleeping on the pillow or on the owner’s head.
