No one argues that every cat is individual, and sometimes the position it takes in sleep only indicates that the animal has observed a similar position or is comfortable in it.
But there is no denying the fact that there are general indicative body positions that can be a signal to an observant owner about the mood or condition of his pet.
The cat sleeps curled up with its tail wrapped around itself
Wild cats sleep in this position to conserve heat and be less visible to predators. It turns out that this position is inherent in nature and is also usually used by domestic cats to keep warm.
The cat sleeps on its side, stretched out to its full height with its paws forward
This means that the pet is now comfortable and relaxed. This behavior can also indicate that the cat is hot, but most often it should be interpreted as a manifestation of relaxation and relaxation.
The cat sleeps in a secluded, cramped place
When a cat sleeps in a box, closet or any other secluded, cramped place, it feels protected. In the wild, cats hide in shelters to ensure their safety. The domestic cat has adopted this feature.
