So, kitties love to sleep with their owners, but why do they choose the weird and wonderful positions?
I’ve heard pet parents complain about everything from sleeping on your face to sleeping with their back towards you.
As always, there is a reason behind the strange things your cat does. Once you hear what they are, you’ll probably be a lot more patient and indulgent with your whiskery companion.
First, your head emits the most heat, and we know how much felines love being warm. Second, your head is the one part of your body that is least likely to move. No-one, especially a finicky cat, wants to be tossed around in their sleep.
Third, your head has a strong scent that appeals to the animal. Maybe it’s your shampoo, or perhaps it’s your unique smell, but your cat associates that with you and wants to be as close as possible.
The owner’s chest is another popular naptime spot for felines. This is mostly because this is where they can feel our breathing and heartbeat.
Just as we are comforted by a cat’s purring, they find our breathing soothing. When we sleep, we are at our most relaxed, and our breathing’s slow and steady pattern is comforting to our pets.
