Perhaps, you can only see a smile on the face of a person sleeping in the same bed with a cat in pictures.
In reality, your pet can press you down to the mattress with her weight, lie down on your chest, tuck her fluffy tail under your nose, and actively comb out imaginary fleas while you are having such a pleasant dream...
And for the animal, such a pastime can hardly be called comfortable: a person in a dream can accidentally push the cat onto the floor, throw a heavy leg on it, or cover it with a blanket that is too warm.
So why do purrs with enviable persistence continue to sneak into our bed? It turns out that there are several reasons that push them to such behavior.
Firstly, the cat may simply be looking for a warm place where he could warm up, especially when the weather outside is inclement.
Secondly, in the company of “his own person,” the pet feels that he is under reliable protection.
It is not worth thinking that our smaller brothers do not experience fears - sometimes even a robot vacuum cleaner or a bag flying past makes them shudder.
Thirdly, cats can express their love and affection in this way. This is confirmed by the fact that among all family members, the pet chooses only one person with whom it is ready to share a dream.
