Why does a cat suddenly fall on its side?

Our mustache-tailed pets can sometimes surprise. Then they stare at one point at something visible only to them alone, then they will begin to hiss at the host who came home, and after a minute they will shamelessly caress him. Cat habitsThey are only truly understood by them.



But what does it mean if a cat falls on its side? Right, out of the blue. Walk and fall. As it turns out, many breeders are interested in this issue. It is difficult to say, opinions differ. But, judging by various sources, there are several reasons. Let's try to pick the main ones.

There are three main reasons why cats fall on their side. Like all animals, they use body language, so it’s a good idea for good owners to take note of this information. It is helpful to be with your pet in a relationship with a complete understanding of things.

Perhaps the most trembling and the very first thought that arises in the breeder. The cat can go about his business and suddenly “fuck” sideways on the floor. Why, why? There's no obvious reason. Something must be hurting.

In principle, we would advise in this case to contact the services of a veterinarian. This is especially true of exotic breeds. Unfortunately, they all often have congenital genetic hidden health problems. It's like white cats. A large percentage of white cats are born deaf. There's nothing we can do about it.



If the pet meows for a long time before falling on its side, the chances of not the best news only increase. In this case, the cat should be taken to a specialist immediately. It won’t make it worse, but it will make it easier.

Here you need to understand the atmosphere in the house or on the street. Despite the fact that some consider cats the most dangerous predators (in relation to small rodents and birds), they also have stress. If a dog appears in the house, another cat or owners constantly communicate in high colors, the cat can react in its own way.



You need to look at where her legs are directed when she falls on her side. If she’s always looking at someone nearby, that’s food for thought. Cats are lazy, that's true. Therefore, they try to protect their place of rest. Remember how they like to sit in a box. After all, this place is protected from all sides, and even very advantageous for a possible ambush.



If the cat is uncomfortable to be near someone, she can just lie away and point her paws in his direction. Cats often choose a place from below for fights. They are very comfortable defending using their hind legs. So in this case, as soon as they see a potential enemy, they want to be fully armed, but feel comfortable. To fall sideways facing the enemy is the most "cat" decision.

Some experts are fully convinced that domestic cats and cats are aware of their attractiveness to humans. Especially if they are still cats. Cats know that people like to spend time with them. In turn, if they have a good heart, they can invite the person to play. To fall on one side is an invitation to play together.



Here it is important to assess the mood of the pet. If the claws are hidden, and the soft pussy is directed upwards, the cat wants caresses. If he tries to fight back, but the legs are soft, without claws, and the entrance is only gentle biting - you can play a little. Don't overdo it. Some fluffy predators can enter into courage and scratch the delicate skin of your hands in a couple of seconds.

Pay attention to the nature of your cat. Most of the time he sleeps or is busy with his own business. Therefore, in those rare moments when he is in a good mood and "beloves" to allocate a little time for his "master" - this time should be used to the maximum.



Being a best friend to a pet is a huge responsibility. It makes your life better and happier. But sometimes even our smaller brothers need to be given maximum time and understanding to make your friendship even stronger. Rest assured, your lump of happiness will appreciate it, but what else does a breeder really need to love his pet?
