He (at least he thinks) is the boss of the family. He is declaring himself to other cats or to you. "territory" and status.

In some cases, the disadvantaged cat in a multi-cat family will also choose to lie on its belly:

If you help him "get over", the disadvantaged cat may Don't be bullied by other cats, but stay by your side and find a "backer".

For example, when the shit shovel is lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone or half-lying on the sofa watching TV series, he likes to lie on the shit shovel's belly or thighs.

These are normal signs that the cat wants to get more attention from you and wants to stay with you and cling to you.

But why do cats prefer to sleep between our legs rather than next to our arms?

Reason 1: The legs are very warm~

Especially in winter and late spring, kittens have extremely high radar scanning ability to find "heat sources"!

Compared to the arms and feet, the middle of the thigh is closer to our torso and is one of the parts with the highest body temperature, so it is more likely to be favored by kittens.

Reason 2: Because it is more familiar~

On the one hand, when we stand or squat, the "greeting parts" that cats habitually rub or touch are our legs or knees .

On the other hand, we mostly sit in a sitting position during the day or when we are awake, so cats have become accustomed to lying on or sleeping on our laps.

Reasons ③ : Less likely to be disturbed

We may often hug cats with our hands, but we don’t use our feet to “harass” them (after all, cats often sit on the cat climbing frame, and no one will do anything wrong. )...

Moreover, especially when we work from home or watch TV shows, even if our hands are used for typing on the keyboard, peeling snacks, and picking up mobile phones, our legs are often in a relatively fixed position.

So in the cat's subconscious mind: the legs have a "more calm personality" and will neither "touch and harass" them during sleep, nor will they change positions frequently to disturb them.

Reason 4: Circles provide a sense of security

Just like cats can never resist the temptation of cardboard boxes, this somewhat claustrophobic and surrounded feeling will make cats Very safe.

And we usually don’t sleep with our arms akimbo...

This is why cats tend to sleep between the thighs rather than under the armpits (of course there are some Cats love to sleep under their armpits (after all, they can still smell them)

Of course, in addition to this, there are also speculations: Compared with the hard arms and the fat-rich and overly soft belly, the thighs The touch here has a certain softness without losing a certain shape. This kind of touch may also be the reason why cats like it.

Are there any adverse effects?

Although, in the world of poop shovelers, it may be a bit strange for a kitten to sleep between the legs.

But in the world of kittens, there is no problem!

The only thing that may need attention are some "security issues".

For cats, in order to avoid crushing the cat, it is not recommended to sleep with kittens aged 1 to 3 months, or if you want to sleep together, temporarily move the cat near the pillow.

As for humans, apart from deworming cats on time to prevent cats and humans from being infected with parasites and bacteria, there is nothing to worry about.

What changes need to be made?

Although cats can choose to "come to you when the weather is cold and squeeze into the same bed with you; dislike you when the weather is hot and stay away from you when you are steaming..."

But you can’t just follow your own preferences and drive the cat out of bed or put it on the bed for no reason...

You don’t want the cat to sleep with you

If you don’t If the cat is willing to go to bed, it is recommended not to let the cat enter the bedroom in the first place;

If the cat has already entered the bedroom, you can provide it with a higher space (on the wardrobe), warmer (heating or thick mats), and more A claustrophobic (one layer of wardrobe drawer) sleeping place.

Cats cannot understand sudden changes and may even develop new skills of their own

When a cat has a better choice, it will leave you without hesitation. ..

I want your cat to sleep with you

If you want your cat to sleep with you, it is recommended to start developing this habit in autumn and winter.

Maybe the cat will come~

However, you must also be mentally prepared. When the cat gets used to sleeping with you, or even gets used to sleeping between your legs...

During the "cat disco time" in the early morning and night, the shit collector will have the slightest life crisis.
