Why do cats look at sleeping people at night (7 photos)

Agree, it becomes a little uneasy when you wake up in the middle of the night and see a furry friend sitting next to you, carefully watching, peering into his face.





The fact that a cat does not sleep at night is completely normal, because cats are, in fact, night hunters, as eloquently evidenced by their midnight romp around the apartment. But why and why do they watch their sleeping owners? There are several reasons.



You're not breathing right

Coughing, snoring or apnea (short-term cessation of breathing during sleep) attracts and worries cats. They worry about the health of the owner, and a sudden change in his condition worries them.





Many cats try to wake up a person when he is having a bad dream and he begins to toss and turn restlessly and scream. Cats actually care about their people. ????

Just curious to look

If you recently adopted a kitten/cat/cat and he has not yet gotten used to you, then it is not surprising that the fluffy one is watching you day and night.



Yes, sleep, sleep. That's just how I look.

Cats are generally inquisitive and attentive creatures; they need to be aware of everything that is happening in the house and everything that the owner is doing. They also carefully study the characteristics of a person’s nighttime pastime in order to know everything about him.



You started to wake up, but you don’t know it yet

Cats are excellent at distinguishing between the breathing of a sleeping and a waking person. When a person begins to come from sleep to reality, cats catch this and move closer to the bed to declare their desires to the awakened person: “Stroke, feed, let’s play! How great it is that you changed your mind about sleeping at night!”



you overslept

A trivial reason, but not that rare. In the cold season, dawn comes later, and when you wake up, it is not always clear whether it is still night or already morning. If you usually get up at the same time, and today you decided to sleep longer, then it’s no wonder that the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes in the morning twilight was a disgruntled cat’s face bending over you.



Cats are sensitive to their usual daily routine. They know your usual wake-up time, come to your bed at this time and just wait. If you are still dreaming, it is a mess.
