21. Lying in Sunspots
Cats are drawn to sunny spots for naps, relishing the warmth and comfort they provide. This behavior stems from their love of heat, as their higher body temperatures make them more inclined to seek warm environments. Sunbathing helps them conserve energy by reducing the need for their bodies to work hard at maintaining warmth.
Additionally, lying in sunspots may boost their mood and well-being. Sun exposure triggers the production of Vitamin D and provides a sense of security and relaxation. This natural tendency reflects a blend of physical and emotional needs, making sunny spots ideal retreats.
