A cat's sleeping position can tell a lot about the animal's condition.

Sometimes pets sleep with their stomachs up or on their sides.

Many owners start to worry when they see a cat lying just like this.

But there is no reason to worry. On the contrary, the open belly of the fluffy one is a very good sign.

In potentially dangerous situations, the cat tries to cover this part of its body.

A pet will not leave its belly exposed if it is afraid of something.

Before going to sleep, fluffy creatures try to choose the safest position possible. If a cat that is falling asleep leaves its belly open and is not going to roll over, then the owner can be happy: the animal feels absolutely safe.

Fluffy probably trusts the people with whom he lives in the same apartment and feels cared for by them.

In such a situation, the owner can safely make the following conclusion: “The pet loves me, he is very comfortable in the house.”

Previously, we shared recommendations for choosing a carrier for a cat.
