There is an opinion that these pets can easily identify a person’s sore spot, and therefore try to lie down on it and “cure” the owner.
But is this really true?
Experts note that this is just a myth that is easy to explain.
It is important to remember that cats prefer to sleep in warm places.
They may try to lie on radiators, climb onto stoves, choose sunny spots on the floor or build “holes” from blankets or abandoned things.
But why then can cats fall asleep on a person?
The fact is that when a person is suffering from some kind of illness, he may suffer from an elevated body temperature.
There is a high probability that the sore spot will be hot due to the inflammatory process.
It is for this reason that a cat unmistakably determines the point where the temperature is higher, which means that this place is warmer and she strives to lie down on it.
