Why do cats hide their noses in their sleep: a well-known sign does not always work

Cats are heat-loving creatures and quickly react to worsening weather conditions. It is believed that if a pet hides its nose, then cold weather is coming.

This sign is familiar to everyone, but it does not always work. It happens that cats hide their noses even in summer, but this does not mean that after the heat and sultry weather, significant cold weather will suddenly set in.

Let's try to find out whether cats always hide their noses before the onset of cold weather.

Why does a cat hide its nose?

It is believed that cats react to an unpleasant smell in this way. Presumably, by hiding their nose in their tail or under their paw, they try to survive the discomfort.

Cats can also use this to hint to their owners that they are uncomfortable in the house.

Sometimes, instead, they may hide in cabinets or under radiators.

In such cases, instead of preparing for the cold weather, the owners should think about the temperature in the house and possible drafts.

Perhaps the place where your pet sleeps is not entirely comfortable.

That is, having eliminated the problem, you can count on the fact that the cats will “cancel” the cold snap promised by folk signs.
