Why are there different cat sleeping positions?

Just like us humans, cats like to change how they sleep from time to time, they may have become uncomfortable, or just want to adjust themselves. However, there are some weird and wonderful ways that our feline friends sleep.

There are also natural instincts that are at play when it comes to different cat sleep positions. Cats do have social connections with their owners, and seek out warmth from body heat when they are sleeping, this is why they may sometimes choose to cosy up next to you, or sit on your lap when they decide to go for a nap.

In other cases, their natural roots come into show. Cats historically, are natural predators, so they need to make sure they are paying close attention to their surroundings, and as a result of this, they may choose a ‘ready for anything’ sleeping position.

Cat sleeping habits

Cats are most active at night time, and tend to sleep most throughout the day. Of course that doesn’t mean they won’t wander outside from time to time in the daylight. So are cats nocturnal? Actually they are crepuscular, meaning they are particularly active at twilight.

During their most active stage in the evenings, your cat may expend a lot of energy patrolling their territory or hunting. So, if you wonder why your cat naps a lot throughout the day, it is because they are getting all their energy back for the night ahead.

There are many different cat sleeping positions, and you may even find that some cats like to sleep in drawers, cardboard boxes, bags and even pillowcases. It’s safe to say that it is best to check inside things before closing them and using them. Being able to understand what your cat is feeling when they are sleeping gives you a better understanding of your cat’s body language.
