5 reasons why cats like to sleep on your bed

- The warmth of your body is appealing: Your cat will always curl up in the warmest spot in the house. This is primarily because the average body temperature of cats is 38-39.5 degrees Celsius. When the ambient temperature is lower than this, they seek a cozy place to - maintain their body temperature. If you don't have warm windowsills or a heater, they'll turn to you for warmth. That's why cats tend to snuggle more with you during the winter months.

- You make them feel safe: Cats are always vigilant, even when asleep. They have special sleep "modes" that allow them to remain alert while napping.

- Cats are extremely territorial: While you may think your bed is yours, your cat might consider it theirs and graciously allow you to share it.

- Comfort above all: As you already know, all those blankets, soft sheets, and fluffy pillows create an incredibly comfortable place to lie down. Your cat knows and understands this, and it seeks the comfort that your bed provides.

- They demonstrate their love for you: We often think that our cats don't love us as much as dogs do, but that's not true. While they can be very independent, they miss you when you're away for a long time and want to cuddle with you when you return. Sleeping with you in your bed at night is one way a cat can show its affection.
