Cats are known to have a cute habit of covering their faces with their paws while sleeping.

We'll tell you why our mustachioed pets do this.

Why do cats cover their faces when they sleep?

The simplest explanation is that the cat feels comfortable. By curling up into a ball and covering its face with its paws, the cat retains the warmth of its body.

Secondly, this position allows the pet to feel safe. Safety is an absolute priority for cats.

Thirdly, cats often cover their faces when sleeping in a lighted room so that the light does not interfere with their sleep.
