Many cats are known to have a habit of sleeping with their muzzle buried in the sofa or floor and covered with a paw.

We'll tell you in what cases cats sleep in this position and when this is a cause for concern.

Why does a cat sleep with its face on the floor?

Most often, cats adopt this position because of the cold or so that light does not interfere with their sleep.

But sometimes this posture can be a sign of malaise or illness.

If your cat remains in the "face down" position for a long time, it may have a head injury, infection, poisoning, or a tumor.

Observe your pet. If there are any other strange behaviors, it is better to contact a veterinarian.
