The real reasons why cats choose their owners' feet side while sleeping have been revealed.
Medianews.az reports that scientists and animal psychologists have proven that this is not just related to wanting to warm up. According to research, there are 3 main hidden reasons behind this behavior:
-
Infinite trust: Cats feel defenseless when they are asleep. Sleeping at the foot of the bed is an indicator of high trust and attachment to the owner.
-
Night guard: The animal in this position can comfortably see the door of the room and instinctively plays the role of "protector" to guard the owner from potential dangers.
-
Distant love: Although cats like body warmth, they avoid being crowded. The foot side gives them both warmth and freedom.
The scientific study published in the journal "Current Biology" also confirms that cats have deep psychological attachment types similar to those of humans.
