Why does a cat hide under the blanket: 4 reasons, the last one is the most serious

The bed that belongs to the owners is often a very attractive place for the cat.
If you can't figure out why your cat is so attached, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the most common reasons for this behavior.
It's comfortable here
The desire to settle down in a warm, enclosed space may arise in cats because they, like people, sometimes want to feel peace and comfort. Since the blanket retains heat well, your pet will probably be happy to use the free "heater" - especially if the beloved owner was previously lounging in the bed, thereby warming the place.
It's safe under the blanket
In addition to warmth, a cat may also seek privacy under the blanket – especially when there are clingy small children in the house. The cat considers the space under the blanket to be safe and calm, where it can rest and relax, especially if it has no other comfortable place to “relax”.
Cats have a nesting instinct
The bed is the best place for cats who are about to become mothers, so if you hear anxious meowing, hurry to prepare a secluded corner for your pet by lining a box, basket or crate with soft and pleasant to the touch material.
Be sure to leave something here that smells like the owner, like your old T-shirt.
The cat is experiencing health problems
Cats also hide under the blanket when they feel unwell. If you see that the animal has become aggressive, lethargic or indifferent, there is discharge from the eyes or nose, vomiting or a change in stool, you need to show it to the vet as soon as possible.
