Why Some Cats Like to Sleep with Their Owners, While Others Ignore Them

Cats are truly wayward and interesting animals.

Sometimes it is quite difficult to understand what guides them when they recognize some owners and completely ignore others.

Let's figure out what causes this behavior in pets.

Cat character

All cats can be roughly divided into 3 categories:

  • animals that crave the affection of their owner;
  • affectionate pets without unnecessary intrusiveness;
  • cats that walk by themselves.

And it is precisely the latter category that can ignore the owner and always sleep separately from him. And the first two often share sleep with a person.

In addition, other factors influence sleeping next to a person.

In particular, a cat is unlikely to sleep next to a person who constantly tosses and turns or snores. Animals prefer peace when sleeping.

However, there is a method to encourage your cat to sleep with you. Play with it more often and spend more time with it, and then your pet will want to sleep next to you.
