Why do cats sleep at people's feet: experts explain
Many people attach special importance to the behavior of domestic cats and are convinced that pets can predict trouble or ward it off from their owner.
But is it worth it to strain yourself so much and monitor every step of your cat, right down to which part of your owner’s body he goes to sleep at night?
Experts have given a comprehensive answer to the question of why cats sleep at their owner's feet.
Cats sleep not only at the feet of their owners, but also on their heads, near their stomachs and behind their backs. This is a banal desire for warmth and tactile contact – one of the ways cats communicate, RIA Novosti quotes felinologist Svetlana Ponomareva as saying.
In other words, wherever a cat lies down to sleep at night, this should not be considered a bad or good omen, but simply as the pet’s desire to be closer to its owner.
It is also known that domestic cats continue to be guided by instincts in many ways. Lying at your feet, on your head or near your stomach, they feel safe.
In addition, this is one of the ways to express attention and gratitude to the owner for shelter and care.
And the simplest thing is the desire to warm up. The expert points out that the body temperature of cats is 2-2.5 degrees higher than that of humans, so they need more energy and heat to warm up.
