Why Cats Curl Up Sleeping?
- Scientists think circling is an instinctive behavior hard-wired into our cats. Their wild ancestors needed to flatten down grasses in order to make a comfortable resting area. Your cat might paw at the blanket or floor in another instinctive move to remove any objects that might be in the way such as rocks, twigs or leaves.
- Sleeping curled up provides a feeling of security for your cat. With her paws drawn in and her nose tucked into her tail your cat’s vital organs are not exposed giving her an added sense of safety. This curled up position also helps your cat stay warm by conserving body heat. You know that shiver you get crawling into bed when the sheets and blankets are cold? Your cat is trying to avoid that same discomfort. Annie is lucky we turn on our electric blanket about an hour before bedtime to protect her from the chill of the night during the cold winter months.
