Content: Consistent among several of her suggestions is the notion of comfort; a cat seeking hospice at the head of a bed may not only be seeking warmth, but evading the tics of a restless sleeper. “A lot of people … toss and turn or have restless legs. There’s always some movement, but some people are more agitated than others,” Krieger says. “ Being towards the head, there’s less agitation than there would be lower down. The cat wouldn’t have to move as much or be as accommodating.” In other words, your cat’s sleeping habits may say a little something about your own. Krieger does offer a more complementary option, however: your cat may like your scent (particularly the smell of your hair), which can help them feel safe and secure when sleeping. Cats are also territorial and dominant animals that want to mark their people with their scent, so as much as they are picking up on your scent, they are marking you with theirs.
