Cats can sleep in completely different places.

At the same time, fluffy creatures often sleep near their owner: some prefer to lie near their feet, and some animals sleep on their stomachs.

A cat may choose this sleeping spot for several reasons.

Comfort and safety

A pet can sleep on a person's stomach, as it can feel comfortable and convenient here.

The cat may also choose this place to sleep, because it feels safer here.

This behavior of the furry creature may be caused by the presence of other animals in the house or other factors that bother her.

As a result, the animal will try to stay closer to the owner.

Anxiety and desire to attract attention

Cats may sleep on a person's stomach if they feel anxious.

Moreover, this may be due to the fact that the fluffy one does not like separation from the owner and does not want to be alone.

In this way, the animal may also try to attract attention and receive an additional “portion” of affection.

A cat may lie on its stomach if it expects something from a person. For example, it may do this in the morning, expecting to be fed soon.
