Surely every cat owner has noticed at least once that their pet tried not just to lie down closer, but to settle down at their feet.
Why do cats do this? There is more than one explanation for this behavioral mechanism.
The second part of our material will tell you what exactly motivates a furry pet to want to sleep at a person’s feet.
Showing love
The fact is that it is in the lower limbs of a person that his strongest smell is concentrated.
Cats, in turn, like to be closer to the source of their beloved owner's scent.
Sign of jealousy
By settling down to rest at a person's feet, a cat can thus demonstrate possessiveness, especially in the presence of other pets.
If your furry friend is actively rubbing against you, rest assured: he is trying to show others that you “belong” only to him.
Joy indicator
In the absence of its beloved owner, the cat experiences boredom and melancholy.
By lying down closer to the lower limbs of a person, the pet tries to make it clear that he is glad to meet his close friend.
