22.11.2023 17:25
People mostly explain the habit of domestic cats to sleep with their owners by the desire to keep warm.
But animals come to sleep with people, even when the apartment is melting from the heat in the summer. Experts explained how to explain such affection.
In fact, cats just want to be closer to their owner, and experts identify three main reasons.
Reason one: comfort
For a cat, the warmth of a human body cannot be replaced by any radiator or heating device. It is just that the animal warms up not only with its body next to its owner.
In such an environment, your pet can truly relax.
Reason two: safety
Whatever people say about cats, they become attached to their owners no less than dogs are capable of.
The proof of this is the desire to be closer during sleep, and therefore to feel safe. This is the highest sign of sympathy and trust.
Reason three: instincts
Living with humans for a long time did not affect the cat's instinct - the animals remained owners.
It is important to remember that a cat that sleeps next to or on its owner is saying that this is its territory.
When an animal is on its own territory, it feels safe.
