Have you ever asked yourself, 'Why does my cat sleep at my feet?' If you’re like me, there’s nothing better than a warm weight on your feet, and many cats love to fill that gap. But why do they seem to like it so much? And why do they choose the feet rather than the lap, legs, or the pillow next to us?
I’ve owned many cats and fostered many more in my life as a vet. While not all liked sleeping at my feet, many did. Whether I was curled up on the sofa or lying in bed, most of my cat companions could be found nearby, sleeping between my legs or on my feet.
