For many ARISTOPARENTS, sleeping with their cat is one of their favorite things. But why do cats have such a fixation on snuggling with you as soon as they see you get into bed? Here are some of the most common reasons:
Because you provide warmth
Cats' body temperature is higher than ours, which makes them more "sensitive to cold." At night, temperatures drop, which is why the most appealing place for your ARISTOCAT is in contact with a body that provides warmth, that is, yours. This way, they conserve body heat while resting.
Because they feel safe
Cats are animals that are constantly alert, even when they sleep, attentive to any movement. You provide them with security. If they cuddle with you, they feel like nothing bad will happen to them; they feel protected and can sleep soundly.
Because they want to protect you
Contrary to the previous point, your cat sleeping with you can also be because they want to protect you. They can sense if you are especially stressed or if something is not right, so they try to help you by offering all their affection.
Because they are comfortable
Cats are very playful, but they sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day, though not just anywhere. They are very flexible animals and are always looking to get comfortable in the most pleasant places. And it is clear that lying on top of you or between your legs is much more comfortable than the sofa.
Because they love you
Of course, cats have emotions and form emotional bonds with their ARISTOPARENTS, even the ones that seem more aloof. Your cat loves spending time with you and misses you when you're not around, so they take advantage of the night to be by your side. Also, cats are animals that always have a sense of belonging to a family and consider you part of their litter, which is why they seek your presence.
In short, your feline sleeping with you is an unequivocal sign of affection. But not all cats have the same preferences. If your ARISTOCAT doesn't like to lie down and rest with you and prefers their own bed, don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong, they're just more independent 🙂
So how does your ARISTOCAT behave? Do they love sleeping close to you, or do they prefer to have their space? We would love for you to tell us on any of our social networks.
