28.08.2024 09:22

The behavior of a cat that comes to sleep in the owner's bed every night is usually explained by the love and devotion of the pet.

But this is rather an idle opinion, although it does not exclude the manifestation of high feelings on the part of the pet in gratitude for shelter and food.

AnimalWised experts have revealed what is really hidden behind a cat's behavior.

First of all, it's warm.

Even if the temperature outside and inside the house is above zero, cats will still look for a source of heat during their nighttime rest.

Therefore, the animal presses closer to its sleeping owner, using him as a source of energy.

Secondly, the cat is in the north

This is how all cats behave, without exception, who have had to live in a cold climate. Despite their long and thick fur, the cat sometimes lacks the energy to warm up.

Thirdly, comfort

Cats love comfort, and pets are also lazy. Therefore, they will not choose for long between sleeping on the floor, a hard bed or in the owner's soft bed.

Fourthly, instinct

And domestic cats are constantly on guard. Even with their owner by their side, they cannot completely relax. They intuitively look for the safest place in the house.

Of course, all this does not cancel out the love and gratitude of the cat. When coming to a person at night, the animal says that it completely trusts him.
