Why do cats like to sleep on people’s heads? Most players must have encountered this experience, that is, their cats sleep on their heads at night, so why do they have a soft spot for our heads?< /p>

Nine times out of ten cat owners have encountered a situation where their owners have damaged their heads or necks. When they are "squeezed awake" by their masters while half asleep, some people are unyielding and resist the power; some people endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and then stiffen their necks.

Even if you are targeted by your master when you are feeling sleepy, you can't even think of avoiding oppression - your usually indifferent person suddenly jumps onto the bed quietly and climbs up along the seam of the quilt, regardless of you. There is no small space on the back of the neck or on the top of the head. He confidently moves his furry body sideways and turns around to lock you with his big bling eyes.

Tell me, do you have the nerve to let him go down?

Some people are happy and some are worried about this kind of "lucky"... So, why is it?

Guess 1. “Blue Star Natural Heater”

You may say, "It must be because he loves me so much"! Although this possibility is not ruled out, from a scientific point of view, the first reason your cat sits on your head is to keep you warm.

We all know that the normal body temperature of cats is slightly higher than that of humans. In order to reduce the workload of maintaining body temperature, cats always like to rest in a warm place. For cats' petite bodies, the huge biped is an ideal heat source. Especially the head that is exposed outside the quilt when sleeping is equivalent to a natural electric heater for the owner. For example, during the day, many cats will occupy their owners' laptops, desktop cases, home TVs, etc., often for warmth.

Guess 2: "How many times can you kick me out of bed before you can sleep more safely?!"

Secondly, according to animal researchers, it may also be for peace of mind. After all, few people stay completely motionless while sleeping - whether it's because of the cold or the heat, or because of the duel in your dream. In short, if you look like a roc spreading its wings one moment, or a horse stepping on a flying swallow, your cat will be miserable. .

Think about it, your cat usually feels annoyed even if it is touched twice. If it squats on you and does anything else,Parts (such as the legs) are simply too easy to wake up. In contrast, human heads usually remain in a relatively stable position throughout the night, and cats will sleep more peacefully.

Of course, for some cats, the more breath emitted from the owner’s head is also a sleep aid for them. Compared with other parts of the body that are tightly covered by quilts, the head will emit more of the owner's scent through the exposed skin and hair. For some cats, this can provide a greater sense of security.

The real reason: He really loves you

Finally, there is another possibility, that is, your master really loves you and wants to stay by your side even when sleeping!
