Cats really need a sense of control.

Desire for personal space

The area at the foot of the bed is considered neutral territory, but at the same time the pet is nearby.

The cat takes care of its personal space, but at the same time remains close to its beloved owner.

Optimal temperature

It also happens that cats use human legs as a source of heat.

Pets most often sleep on the edge of the bed during the cold season.

Caring for your comfort

Not all cats think only about themselves. Some pets care about their owners more than others.

If a four-legged creature sees that a person is not in the mood to mess with it, then it will occupy neutral territory.

Cats not only protect their personal territory, but also respect other people's boundaries.
