It is not uncommon to see a scene where, after getting up from a chair for a second to pick up a phone or other object, the owner discovers that his place has been taken by a cat.
What pushes the pet to such an act at this moment - ordinary impudence or a desire to be closer to the owner? Here's what the experts say.
Cats, as if enchanted, rush to occupy their owner's favorite place. It doesn't matter where it is. On the bed, in the armchair or it's a simple stool.
Some people leave their pets alone, some chase them away, and some pick them up.
Reasons
There are two reasons. The first is the owner's smell.
One of the means of communication in animals is smell. For this reason, they mark their territory to mark their possessions and feel safe.
There is an assumption that by staying within the territory where the owner's smell is strongest, the cat feels most comfortable and protected.
The second reason is heat.
The pet quickly takes the heated place and immediately goes to sleep, feeling completely safe.
