Every cat owner has at least once taken things out of the closet that are already covered in fur.

The thing is that pets love to hide there.

This happens for various reasons.

First of all, it should be noted that cats love silence, calm and personal space.

If the house is too noisy and there is a lot of movement, as well as in situations where the animal is trying to hide from unnecessary attention, a closet can be chosen as such a shelter.

In addition, such behavior is also explained by the fact that the cat is escaping from stress. This usually happens after moving, changing the owner, or the appearance of new pets in the house.

It is also worth noting that those pets that are left home alone too often, but who miss their owner, also climb into the closet.

The thing is that it is in the closet that they smell a person, and this can give them an additional sense of security.

Earlier we talked about why cats hide under the blanket.
