Are you a side, back, or tummy sleeper? Cold room or warm room? Do you keep it simple with one pillow or do you need a mound of 47 of them like some people We all have our own specific preferences for optimal sleeping arrangements, and it turns out cats do too. And they have their reasons, just like us humans. Given how temperamental cats can be, the idea of a “trusting” cat might seem a bit far-fetched. Yet it turns out that cats who sprawl out in the middle of the living room floor for a nap trust you as their owner. “If your cat likes to sleep out in the open, whether that be the middle of the room, out on the sofa, or whatever,” The Cattery said, “that means they feel very secure and safe in their environment.” This is because, as with most animals, sleepy time is the most vulnerable a cat can be — that’s when predators are most likely to attack, after all. “So a cat that just naps wherever feels like you’re gonna protect them and watch their backs,” she said. Good cat parenting on your part Sometimes this means they’re a bit nervous, she said, but most often cats just like the way they can, say, watch for vermin or the dumb dog next door or whatever it is cats are always looking at when they stare out the window plotting their next escape from your home. You know, cat stuff. “Cats are sensitive and can easily feel overwhelmed or stressed,” The Cattery explained, “and being alone and hidden helps them decompress.” OK, so some of them are just introverts who recharge through silence. Just like many of us! Unlike those reclusive cats that like to sleep behind the refrigerator or whatever, cats that sleep right alongside you — or even on you, as so many cats love to do — are open to more companionship even while sleeping because they feel safe and secure with you. A cat’s sleeping habits indicate how they feel about their living situation and owner.
