"Why is he doing this? He has a comfortable bed!" - the owner of the fluffy one will probably think.

But the cat's desire to settle in the hallway is quite understandable: the animal has the opportunity to keep an eye on its owner and his family members. After all, many rooms are open to the gaze of the four-legged friend.

And if the cat has settled down by the door, it is possible that the animal simply likes that people have to step over it. After all, this phenomenon indicates the influence of the purr on human behavior.
