What Cats Love

  1. Cozy Comfort:
  • Cats seek out soft and plush surfaces for resting, such as beds, blankets, or cushions.
  • They enjoy the feeling of sinking into a comfortable spot that molds to their body.
  1. Elevated Retreats:
  • Cats have a natural inclination to seek higher vantage points for relaxation.
  • Providing them with perches, shelves, or cat trees allows them to observe their surroundings from above.
  1. Warmth and Sun:
  • Cats are drawn to warm spots, basking in the sunlight streaming through windows.
  • Offering cozy spots near sunny areas with natural materials, such as blankets or mats, can enhance their comfort.
  1. Privacy and Seclusion:
  • Cats appreciate quiet and secluded areas where they can retreat undisturbed.
  • Boxes, dedicated hiding spots, and their favorite natural wool cocoons provide them with a sense of security and comfort. Cats are particularly fond of the smell of natural wool, including lanolin, which reminds them of their mother’s comforting underbelly.
  1. Scent Marking:
  • Cats like to claim their resting spots with their scent by rubbing against objects.
  • Leaving familiar blankets or towels, especially those made of natural wool, can enhance their sense of familiarity and comfort, thanks to the soothing scent of lanolin.
  1. Personal Space:
  • Cats value having their own designated resting area.
  • Including natural materials in their individual resting spaces, such as wool blankets or natural fiber beds, can make them feel more at home.
  1. Variety and Choice:
  • Cats may have different preferences for resting at different times or in different locations.
  • Offering a variety of natural material options, like paper mats, wool beds, or soft blankets, allows them to choose what suits their mood or comfort.

Understanding and catering to your cat’s resting preferences, including their attraction to natural materials, can contribute to their overall well-being and contentment. By creating a restful environment that incorporates these elements, you can enhance their relaxation and provide them with a cozy haven.
