What does it mean when a cat sleeps on its owner?

A cat likes to sleep on its owner, which means it likes the owner and expresses full trust in the owner. Sleeping on the owner will make the cat feel safe and content, just like being in the arms of its mother. Furthermore, cats are animals that are afraid of the cold. When they feel the cold, they will look for a warm and hot place to sleep, so they like to lie on their owners.
