Cats sometimes behave quite strangely and such strangeness manifests itself in everything. Sometimes they climb into containers with water, and sometimes suddenly at any opportunity they try to dart into the closet.
The last habit is not so harmless. If your pet poops on your favorite T-shirt, it will take a long time to clean it from hair.
Before you start fighting your pets' strange habits, you need to figure out why they do it. There is nothing abnormal about it.
Why does the cat hide in the closet
Firstly, not only are cats quite selfish and demand maximum attention from their owners, they are also greedy for comfort. And if where they are comfortable and warm is also safe, then you won’t be able to kick them out of their familiar place, even if it’s a wardrobe.
Secondly, in addition to safety and comfort, cats love silence. A closet, where it is warm, dark and quiet, again fits these parameters.
Thirdly, a cat may start sleeping in a closet out of boredom. Having found a thing that its owner wears, the cat will sleep on it, filled with thoughts of love and devotion to its owner. The rest is a matter of habit.
Fourthly, if there are other pets in the house, the cat may hide from them, especially if there is no hope of friendship.
Fifthly, if a cat is expecting offspring, then she will not find a better place in the apartment than a closet to give birth to kittens and raise them.
And finally, it happens that sick cats try to hide from prying eyes. This is done for their own safety, so that enemies do not find them in weakness and helplessness. In this case, you need to observe your pet and, if necessary, seek help from a veterinarian.
To wean your pet off hiding in a closet, you need to eliminate the causes that cause stress, or keep the closet closed.
