Cats can sleep in various places in the apartment, including on the windowsill.

However, under no circumstances should you allow your pet to sleep near the window.

After all, this place cannot be called safe for an animal and sleeping here can lead to very serious consequences.

First, it’s worth understanding why cats choose the windowsill as a place to sleep.

Often, this happens because the animal likes to keep an eye on what is happening outside.

At the same time, in winter it is quite warm near the window, and therefore the pet can feel comfortable here.

However, it is important to remember that this place may not be safe for your furry friend.

Firstly, there may be a draft from the window, and therefore the animal risks getting sick.

Moreover, drafts are especially dangerous for short-haired cats.

In addition, it is important to ensure that pets do not sleep near an open window.

After all, a curious cat might accidentally jump out of it, which would be fraught with injury or even death.

Another dangerous place for cats is radiators.

Therefore, under no circumstances should you allow your furry friend to sleep on a heating radiator.

If an animal lies in a very warm place for a long time, its internal organs may overheat.

This in turn can provoke various health problems.
