Why Do Cats Sleep At The Foot Of The Bed? Should You Let Them?
Cats have been estimated to sleep at the foot of the bed at least 15 hours a day where it is in the most uncomfortable spot- not for them but their human!
Even though your cat sits on top and judges everyone in the house, these creatures love to cuddle up with their human on the same bed for hours as their way of showing affection for them. Our feline friends love to be close to the owners that give them maximum affection and provide the most for them.
Most people notice that the cat owners that feed, water, and clean their litter-sand the most, are the ones whose feet these animals may choose to sleep on. Albeit either waking them up or leaving no room to stretch the legs for the human.
Sleeping and being near their owners gives the kitty a sense of security and safety. Cats also have a knack for sleeping next to their humans to protect them from any harm that may come and wake them up of any threat, thanks to their superior survival instincts.
All this increases the love in the bond between the cat and the cat owner.
The cat owner's feet become the permanent bed for a cat to get all the affection and warmth they crave from their human. However, is this the only reason why cats sleep near your feet or the foot of your bed?
