Why do cats sleep on their master’s back?

How long do cats sleep? It is quite normal for a healthy animal to sleep 12 to 22 hours a day! It is not surprising that inexperienced owners at first even worry when they see their furry pets napping day and night.

And even omniscient scientists can not fully explain why cats sleep so much. One of the reasons is the way of life of the ancestors of modern tails. After all, wild cats did not stray into herds, but hunted alone. And after catching prey, they rested, digesting it.

Domestic cats, who spend all their time in a cramped apartment, sleep really a lot. You do not need to catch prey, you do not have to worry about your own safety either. It remains only to rest and from time to time purring on the lap of the owner. It is not surprising that such a cat, for example, out of 8 years of life in a state of sleep or half-sleep spends 5-6 years.



If we talk about cats that live in country houses, they sleep much less. They have a lot of space in their hands that they consider their duty to follow. And they protect them from birds, rodents and other uninvited guests.

The least need to sleep stray cats, who are forced to constantly be active in search of food. Safety needs to be monitored more. Therefore, there is not much time left for careless sleep. You have to be alert all the time.



Recently, we have already written that can tell the owners of the pose in which the cat rests alone. But sometimes tailed pets come to rest and to the owners. Especially often this happens at night, when a noisy and mobile person finally finishes all his business and settles down on the sofa or bed.



Connoisseurs of cat psychology believe that if a cat lies next to the owner, then he demonstrates his gratitude and love to him. If a person is sitting, and the pet climbs to his lap, then he speaks of his devotion to the biped.

There are also such wayward cats that demonstrate even dominance over humans. It is normal for them to lie on the chest of a sleeping host. They could get on his back.



And the cat does not care that it causes someone inconvenience. And she is terribly outraged when a person moves or tries to drive her away. Sometimes the animal climbs on the lying owner not to sleep, but just sit, pay attention to it. It is believed that sometimes a cat self-assertively. Or he wants to make sure that this person belongs only to her.

But the fact that the cat fits into the sore spot to save a person from painful sensations is not proven. Scientists believe that cats just lie down where it is warmest. And often the diseased organ just has an elevated temperature. That's the explanation.



Whatever the reason, but any owner likes when a tailed pet comes to him himself. And even if it is not confirmed that a cat is able to heal or take away negative energy by force of touch, but the fact that contact with this animal puts in order. nervous system- proven.

Don’t forget to pay enough attention to your cat. Especially if she takes the initiative.
