Have you ever noticed that dogs like to stay on the ground, on the sofa or on the bed, but cats seem to like to stay in higher places, such as on the balcony, on the table, or even on the refrigerator. Why is this? Why? Do cats like to stay in high places? ​​​​​​

1. Cats like to stay in high places because they are warm

There are heat dissipation vents just above some household appliances. We all know that cats are animals that like warmth very much, so cats like to stay above these household appliances to keep warm. It happens that refrigerators, TVs, and microwave ovens are all placed at high altitudes. Therefore, cats will often jump to high places to keep warm and sleep. This is a very comfortable thing for cats.

2. Cats like to stay in high places to observe the environment

As the old saying goes, "Stand high and see far." Cats are animals that like to hunt, so they naturally like to observe the surrounding environment. For cats, heights are very conducive to observing changes around them, and it is also a geographical location that is very beneficial to them. Cats can clearly observe everything happening below, and they feel very safe. Cats' sleeping positions at high places are very conservative, and they are usually in a nap state. When they really enter a deep sleep state, they will not be at high places, so cats in high places are usually in a state of defense.

3. Cats like to stay in high places because they are afraid

We do not rule out this situation: if a cat and a dog are kept at home, and the dog always bullies the cat, the cat will stay in a high place to avoid the dog's attacks. Excluding the factor of the dog, if there is anything in the lower place that makes the cat uneasy, the cat will stay in the upper place, mainly because it is afraid. This situation usually occurs in kittens.

　4. Cats like to stay in high places because I am the biggest

The opposite state to the previous one is that when the cat feels that I am the biggest and the leader in the family, it will also like to stay high. This situation seems to indicate its status. When a cat sits upright in a high place, we can conclude that this guy must be "narcissistic".

Cats usually do not have any accidents when they fall from high altitudes. Therefore, owners do not need to worry too much when cats stay at high places. However, they should pay attention to putting away fragile things at home and not placing them at high places, otherwise it will be very dangerous. Easily broken.
