Why do cats like to lie on things: we tell you in detail

Some cat owners feel that their pets deliberately choose to rest on things that were accidentally left on a chair or accidentally fell out of a dresser onto the floor.

There is probably no need to talk about how much animals love to spend time in the closet.

Let's try to figure out what it is about clothes that attracts the whiskered and striped ones so much.

Perhaps the first reason is the smell – of the beloved owner, of course.

By stretching out at full length on his things, the cat seems to receive additional assurance that she is loved and accepted in this family.

If you have noticed, freshly washed items are of particular value to the purr - and all because the cat wants to mark their "belonging" as soon as possible, leaving not only its fur, but also its "aroma" on the blouse or skirt.

In addition, tactile sensations are also important for animals – can the feelings of touching the thick cotton from which the bed is made be compared to the sensations that arise when paws touch silk or angora?

And, of course, sometimes a cat wants to feel cozy and warm, which can be achieved by burying itself in a sweater or stole.

Perhaps, we should not ignore such a reason as the cat’s desire to attract a person’s attention – after all, the person will probably approach her to move her to another place, more suitable for sleeping, in his opinion.

We previously wrote about why it is better to have two cats than one.
