All cats shouldn’t be cut one size, but we know that most purr creatures love sleeping with their guardians. Every cat has two personalities—the first one looks down on all these big clumsy furless cats with pride and prejudice. And the second one who wants to be treated like a little child, napping side-by-side with all these big clumsy furless cats.
But why is it important for your meow buddy to sleep near you? Well, maybe because for him you are…
Warm Toast
You must have noticed that sometimes your cat cutely folds his legs under his chunky body, turning into a cat loaf. In such a lovely way, he retains more heat during sleep.
After all, cats prefer warm nap environments, while people fall asleep faster and deeper in a slightly cold bed. That’s why your body is the perfect place for your cat to get a good night’s sleep, keeping his paws and head warm. And that’s also one of the reasons reason why cats sleep more in the winter.
Security Blanket
Those who read our blog or are interested in the feline lifestyle know that every cat is a predator. But even though your cat is a tiny alpha kitty (he thinks so to himself), your cat needs protection.
And even if your cat hasn’t admitted it to you and himself, he wants to be guarded by his big & weird human cat. This is especially true when he sleeps because the cat is most vulnerable at this time.
Therefore, please do not scold your cat when he lies down on your chest and falls asleep in a croissant position. Perhaps he is tormented by cat nightmares about the disappearance of food in his bowl, but with you, he is not so scared.
Fragrant Rose
Scents and smells are essential for cats. With their help, they communicate with each other and know who are their friends and enemies.
And maybe you don’t smell like Versace Eros or coffee with macarons to your cat. Remember that your smell may not be the most pleasant for a meow one because you are some alien for your furry friend.
But he loves you and your scent very much. After all, for your cat, it’s associated with home, warmth, protection, and the sound of opening a white box, in which his favorite meat magically appears.
Stress-Reliever
You’re not the only one feeling stressed by a missed deadline, lousy weather, or a terrible date. Every day, just like you, your cat goes through many stressful situations. For example, going to the vet or having another cat walk into your territory can be very frustrating for your chubster.
So calm your little cat and yourself, and then go to bed. Co-sleeping will allow you to sleep better and obliterate the bad mood.
(But if you come home smelling like the neighbor Salem, you’d better hide far away and get ready to ask for cat forgiveness).
Thank you for your time!
