Why does a cat like to sleep on its owner's legs: experts named unexpected reasons

A beloved house cat usually has a huge choice of places to rest.
The owner tries to buy a comfortable house, a bed and other devices for the pet that can make the family member's sleep as pleasant as possible.
Instead, the animal may choose its legs as its "bed."
How can this be explained?
Pay attention to the weather
Cats start to feel immediate interest when it gets a little colder outside. Pets like our body because it has higher temperature indicators.
Therefore, in most cases, the owner's feet become a special "heated bed," experts note.
You have taken the place of the pet
Even if the animal has a sufficient number of places to rest, this does not prevent the cat from also choosing “its” place on your bed.
If your feet are located there, your pet does not see anything wrong with it: the cat will happily “share” the bed with you.
Special aroma and pleasant sensations
Many owners still believe in the myth that cats do not have any special feelings for humans. But this is a misconception.
Legs are a rather "aromatic" part of the body.
If a pet chooses to sleep on its feet, then at that moment it enjoys the smell of its loved one.
