The meaning of 5 sleeping positions for cats you should to know..

 The sleeping position of cats shows their feelings and condition..

About 70 percent of a cat's life is spent for sleeping. Reported by Sleep, sleep time "the pussy" on average can reach 15 hours, while the time for rest overall can reach 20 hours a day. This is what sometimes makes people jealous.

Fun fact, it turns out that the cat's sleeping position has different meanings, you know. They often slip certain "codes" out of the way they sleep. Want to understand your cat more? Come on, identify the cat's sleeping position and its meaning below!

1. Sleep curled up

Snuggled up is one of the cat's favorite positions for sleeping or relaxing. The body is prone, the head is held close to the chest, and the tail is bent around the body. Often times, cats curl up in the rain or when it's cold. This position allows them to warm their bodies and protect their fragile internal organs.

When they're in this position, you better not bother them, okay? Because snuggling is a way for cats to "code" so that they are left alone and undisturbed.












2. Lying up  on floor

Not infrequently, cats are also in a strange sleeping position, namely on their back. Their stomachs, chests, and faces are actually facing up as if they don't have any burden in the world.But it turns out that the back is not a favorite position because the cat's stomach is a very sensitive area. Consider yourself lucky when they don't hesitate to sleep on their backs at home. This means that, to the cat, you are not a threat and they are comfortable with you.

Cats want to be ready to react instantly to whatever is happening around them, so they must fight the urge to fall asleep and find the most comfortable position to relax, but remain alert.

If a cat sleeps with one eye open while the other is completely closed, it means that one part of its brain is sleeping while the other is awake.

5. Sleep like Superman flying 

In contrast to supine, Superman's position is done when the cat is lying on its stomach. He spreads his paws back and forth like the superhero Superman in flight.
