Cats are known for seeking out peculiar spots, and one of their favorites happens to be under blankets.

Ever wondered why cats have a penchant for crawling under blankets? It's not a random habit – there are reasons behind their cozy preference.

#1 Hiding Instinct

Cats have retained many of their wild instincts and skills. While they adore the food we provide, they are also natural hunters.

You adore it when a kitten suddenly jumps from a hidden place and playfully attacks you. However, once upon a time, it wasn’t just a game.

#2 Warmth & Shelter

A cover that’s soft, warm and fluffy — is there a more perfect choice for kittens seeking warmth or a sense of security?

#3 Stress or Anxiety

A change in routine, the arrival of a new pet… These are all stressors one can deal with more easily in the intimacy of one’s blanket.

#4 Comfort

The pleasant embrace of soft blankets doesn’t just offer solace and calm. It also feels good – plain and simple!

#5 Playtime

One of the reasons we adore cats is their playfulness. A blanket provides the perfect setting for them to entertain themselves…

… whether it's by suddenly jumping out of it or curiously peeking from a hidden place.

#6 Illness

While a cat under a blanket is a common sight, it can sometimes be a sign of illness—an instinct borrowed from their wild relatives.

Long ago, their ancestors had to conceal their vulnerability from other animals to protect themselves from potential attacks.

#7 They Like It Dark

… And not just dark, but small! The darker the spot, the lower the chance of a predator attack — real or imaginary.

#8 YOU!

Despite their occasional rebuff, domestic cats are affectionate and view their human parents as a source of safety. They naturally seek to be close to you.

If you're not under the blanket, they can still detect your scent on it. It serves as an acceptable alternative in your absence.

See, there are various reasons why your feline companions adore blankets, and most of them don’t indicate anything to worry about.

Still, you should make sure there is ventilation, allowing outside air to enter under the blanket.

For tiny kittens, leave their nose and eyes uncovered to ensure proper breathing and visibility of their surroundings.

Many things make our feline friends special. Love of their cozy hideaways is one of them. Enjoy watching your cat’s love for their snug retreats!
