There are a lot of memes about cats on the internet, and they often make me curious about their origin. I recently saw a meme about cats guarding people while they sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is definitely a possibility this particular one has a degree of accuracy – this link has pretty compelling explanations: https:\/\/basepaws.com\/cat-insider\/do-cats-protect-you-while-you-sleep<\/a> – the reality is that from a behavioural aspect, it\u2019s more likely your cat is sleeping next to you for protection from you rather than providing it to you. But before this is viewed as a less endearing scenario, it might be worth considering this: when cats sleep is when they feel most vulnerable. So if your cat is choosing to sleep close to you, it\u2019s absolutely a big deal. You\u2019re someone they\u2019re choosing as their safe person and your presence is reassuring. And isn\u2019t that something we all strive to achieve for someone we love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
