<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen a cat curls up on your stomach, it’s not just seeking warmth or a comfortable spot to rest. There’s a deeper reason behind this behavior that stems from their natural instincts and their unique relationship with their owners.<\/p>\n
Cats have a strong need for security and reassurance, and laying on your stomach allows them to feel close to you. It’s a way for them to establish physical contact and seek comfort in your presence. This behavior is often seen as a sign of trust and affection.<\/p>\n
Additionally, cats are known for their territorial nature. By laying on your stomach, they are marking you as their territory and showing ownership. This behavior is similar to when they knead on blankets or other soft objects, leaving their scent to establish their presence.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, laying on your stomach may also provide a sense of security for cats. Your stomach area is a vulnerable spot, and when a cat chooses to lay there, it can indicate that they feel safe and protected in your presence. It’s their way of seeking warmth, comfort, and a sense of security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
