Check your cat’s health from sleeping posture

The health of a cat can be judged from its sleeping posture as follows:

1. The cat sleeps with its belly exposed and its legs in the air, indicating that it is at ease with the surrounding environment and is concerned about the surrounding environment. The owner has enough trust and a strong sense of security. This is the sleeping position for cats when they are in good health.

2. When a cat feels cold, it will bury its face in its abdomen and huddle up to sleep. The owner can provide the cat with heating equipment appropriately.

3. When cats are sick or uncomfortable, they usually adopt a hen squatting position.

The relationship between the cat’s sleeping position and its owner:

1. All four legs are in the air. When a cat sleeps with its legs in the air, it is the most relaxed sleeping position for cats. A cat sleeping in this position will expose its most vulnerable belly, which shows that it trusts its owner and regards the owner as the closest person.

2. Lie sideways on the ground. When some cats like to sleep on their side, and when the surroundings are quiet and comfortable, the cat will sleep with its body close to the ground. This shows that the cat also trusts its owner, and it also shows that the cat likes its owner very much.

3. Huddle up. Most cats curl up in a ball to sleep. First of all, it is because they are not accustomed to the environment. However, after they become familiar with the environment, they still sleep in this position. This shows that the owner's usual care is not adequate and the cat does not feel safe.
