A domestic cat has a wide range of sleeping locations, so a pet can sometimes change several options in one day.

However, some locations seem so inconvenient to us that we wonder how the animal could have chosen them.

A striking example would be the area near the front door.

Clean and "picky" cats can calmly rest in this rather dirty space and get obvious pleasure from this rest.

There is always a small draft near the door, which creates a very pleasant feeling.

Control

It is important to remember that cats are territorial predators by nature. Therefore, they try to protect their home from various strangers.
