Why do cats sleep at the owner's feet?

Cats have long been favorite pets for many people. These wayward animals surprise their owners every day with their unusual habits and behavior. Many cats prefer to sleep at the feet of their owner. In doing so, they choose someone from the family. Why do animals like it so much? Should we wean a cat from this habit? Let's figure it out today together in this matter.

Despite the fact that cats have lived next to people for a long time, mankind still fails to fully study the features of the behavior of this pet. Moreover, each pet has its own individual character. Therefore, for many people, cats are still mysterious animals, and sometimes it is difficult to assess the reasons for their behavior and understand what it really means.

These animals very quickly get used to their owners and instantly become family favorites. Each pet has a special place in the house where he loves to rest. For example, many cats love to lie at the feet of their owner. Someone has a very positive attitude to this, believing that in this way the animal relieves a person of diseases. And for some, this behavior is alarming and even frightening. What does this really mean and what are the reasons for this behavior of pets? It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. But there are several popular versions that explain this behavior of pets.

Surely, many owners of cats and cats often turned to professional veterinarians with such a question.Like most doctors, veterinarians are also skeptics, so they do not believe in various folk omens, superstitions and all kinds of theories that bioenergetics put forward. They have a completely logical and simple explanation in this regard.

Since this animal loves warmth and prefers cozy and comfortable conditions during sleep, the cat always chooses the warmest place in the house. In the cold season, this is a place next to the radiator, a cozy sofa or a master's bed. That is why, in order to relax in a comfortable environment, many cats crawl under their owners' blankets and sleep at their feet.

Professionals explain this love of warmth simply. The fact is that during sleep the animal does not move and begins to freeze a little. In order to prevent hypothermia of its body, the animal initially looks for a warm, cozy and safe place for itself.

Bioenergy specialists have their own version of this. Bioenergy scientists from different countries have been studying the characteristics and habits of these mysterious pets for many years. It has long been known to everyone that cats are very sensitive animals. In addition, they are credited with unusual abilities.

If you believe this theory, then cats can easily find an accumulation of negative energy in the house. Their favorite place to rest and sleep is just such a gathering of energy. As soon as the cat just lies down a little in this place, the negative energy is neutralized and no longer conceals any danger in itself. At the same time, you should not worry about the health of the animal itself, since this does not harm it at all.

Often this energy accumulates in the corners of the room. But it often happens that the animal lies down exactly on that chair, where a person has recently sat, and at night prefers to sleep at his feet.

Please note that the cat chooses only one family member. This suggests that the pet feels the energy of the person and is trying to help him by neutralizing all the negativity. It is worth noting the fact that many bioenergy specialists are sure that the negative energy of a person accumulates precisely in the lower part of his body.

In addition, bioenergetics put forward another interesting version. They say that everyone draws energy from space. This process occurs unconsciously, and the person himself does not feel it and does not realize it. Initially, this energy carries a positive charge. But as soon as it passes through the body, it changes and becomes negative. Cats feel it perfectly and help a person to neutralize bad energy, thanks to which many people really manage to get rid of bad mood, headaches and even some diseases. Also, many fans of this theory are sure that in this way the animal relieves not only of negativity and disease, but also helps to prolong life.

Previously, there were many popular signs that said that a person should never sleep in the same bed with a cat, that this would have a bad effect on his health and fate. But times change, and so do people. Therefore, no one believes in old omens for a long time, but they listen to new omens and versions with great interest.

Many people believe that in this way the animal shows its tenderness and love towards humans. By the way, not many cats are selfish, as is commonly believed. Often they cannot stand loneliness, and they always have their own favorite in the family, for whom they have tender feelings. Why, then, does the animal prefer to sleep at its feet? The fact is that these pets do not like to be annoying and do not want to occupy a leading position in the house.

In addition, there are several curious folk signs on this score. For example, they say that if a cat sleeps next to a person all the time, then this is a serious reason to see a doctor. According to popular belief, cats perfectly feel a person and thus try to warn him about a particular disease. Perhaps this habit of a pet suggests that this is the beginning of varicose veins or some other disease.

Also, cats often lie down not only at their feet. Sometimes they choose the area of ​​the abdomen or back. A popular omen says that a cat always finds the most problematic place on the human body and heals it with its warmth, its energy. During an inflammatory process, an area of ​​the human body becomes hotter. Cats feel it perfectly and lie there.

A cat does not pose any danger to humans. Therefore, do not worry about your pet sleeping next to you all the time. As their pet, these pets choose one of them and always lie down next to him. This kind of love can be easily explained. The point is that cats like the smell of a certain person. He gets so used to it that he tries to constantly be with him at any time of the day or night.

You can sleep in the same bed with your pet, if it does not cause discomfort to you. Still, sometimes it's best to avoid it. For example, if you sleep very restlessly, you often toss and turn in your sleep. In a dream, a person cannot control himself and can harm his pet. Many animals also sleep deeply and, in order not to injure the cat, it is better to arrange a separate sleeping place for him.

Such a neighborhood is undesirable for a pregnant woman. In order to protect yourself and the health of the unborn baby, it is worth sleeping in your bed without a cat. If the cat is already used to sleeping with the mistress all the time, then you need to wean him from this habit.... Moreover, soon, when the baby is born, there will be a nursing baby next to the woman, so it is undesirable for a pet to be in the same bed.

Many pets have a very positive attitude towards the youngest members of the family and love to sleep in their beds.

Don't let your cat sleep in a small child's bed. The kid can choke, choke on the hairs of a fluffy animal. In addition, most children sleep very restlessly, shudder in their sleep, and toss and turn violently. Thus, the child can harm the cat or the pet to him. Many cats are frightened by sudden sounds, movements and can accidentally scratch a child out of fright.

Since by nature all cats are awake at night, the pet may wake up and start playing with its toes, which will disturb your sleep. And if the pet gets carried away, it may scratch you.

In the event that your pet regularly goes outside, then you should not let him sleep in the same bed with you. He can bring any infection from the street, which will negatively affect the health of all family members.

In order to teach your beloved pet to sleep separately, you should arrange a comfortable sleeping place for it.

• After you prepare a sleeping place for your pet, do not rush to install it in one or another corner of the room. Each cat has its own favorite places in the house. Therefore, it is best to place a house or a couch there.
• Put your pet in a specially prepared place so that he can study everything thoroughly. Whether he liked the new place to sleep or not, it will be clear right away. If the pet is still small, you can draw its attention to the sleeping place with the help of catnip. By the way, this bait is also perfect for adult animals.
• In case the pet already has a favorite bedding, it shouldn't be a problem either. For example, he has long chosen your old scarf or T-shirt and constantly sleeps on it, then you can put this thing in the cat's house.
• Close your bedroom door at night. Of course, in the early days, the pet will absolutely not like it. But after that he will understand, get used to it and will no longer be indignant, and will begin to fit in for the night in his house.

As mentioned above, cats are very positive about warm, comfortable places. In addition, they prefer to sleep in a clean place and it is for this reason that they choose their master's bed, and sometimes climb onto the shelf of the closet with clean linens.

In addition, it is important to consider the fact that most cats and cats do not like to sleep downstairs on the floor, but in an elevated place. This makes them feel completely safe. Also, pets try to choose dark and quiet places for the night. They prefer a quiet and cozy corner to an open space, which is hidden from prying eyes. For this reason, they are not indifferent to various boxes and love to sleep in them.

• The sleeping place for your beloved pet should be spacious, comfortable, with an open or closed top. Even a large wicker basket is perfect. Since the animal is thermophilic, it is better to arrange a sleeping place by the battery. The inside should be soft, clean and warm.
• A cozy place for a pet should be located in such a way that the pet could calmly observe everything that happens. Be sure to install the house or bed so that the cat has maximum visibility. At the same time, do not place the sleeping place too high. Remember that it should be comfortable for the animal to climb there.
• Use a soft, soft-touch fabric for bedding. You can make your own mattress or pillow, or you can choose a ready-made option, which is available in every specialized pet store.

If you want your pet to fall in love with its sleeping place and constantly sleep there, then you should regularly monitor its cleanliness. Remove wool and dust from the mattress and wash it regularly. When washing, do not use powder or scented soap. It is best to choose a neutral option, such as baby soap.
