"Why is he doing this? He has a comfortable bed!" - the owner of the fluffy one will probably think.

But the cat's desire to settle in the hallway is quite understandable: the animal has the opportunity to keep an eye on its owner and his family members. After all, many rooms are open to the gaze of the four-legged friend.
