Many cats are known to have a habit of sleeping at their owners' feet.
We explain why cats often choose this particular place to sleep.
Why does a cat sleep at the feet of its owner?
It is impossible to say exactly why cats like to sleep at the foot of the bed.
There are two main versions. According to the first, cats sleep at your feet to make it easier to control the situation in the house.
According to the second version, by lying at your feet, the cat demonstrates that it recognizes its owner as a leader.
Should you let your pet into your bed? Experts say no.
Firstly, it is fraught with infection by various infections and parasites.
There are about 100 known diseases that cats and dogs can infect humans with.
You can get, for example, salmonellosis, staphylococcus, toxoplasmosis, meningitis, ringworm.
Moreover, the pet does not necessarily have to be sick itself; it can be a carrier of the infection.
Secondly, a strong allergic reaction and even asthma may develop.
And this doesn't just apply to people prone to allergies. Many develop them over time.
