Pet breeders? Does your dog or cat crawl into your bed at night and cuddle with you? You should know that the style in which the animal spends the night has great significance and it teaches the nature of the animal's connection and depth with the most significant character in his life: you.
This should come as no surprise to us, as the way people lie in bed alongside their spouse says a lot about them, but following research we will tell you how your dog or cat feels and what it means about your relationship.
The animal is curled up at your feet
Most of us assume that if the animal curls up next to our feet, it is recognition that we own it and it is up to us. But this is a misinterpretation of another phenomenon: you just go to bed endlessly at bedtime and the animal wants to sleep next to you and can't. So it curls up next to your feet at a safe distance and in this way tries to get closer to you.
Cuddling in the socket of your legs
If you or you are sleeping in the shape of an embryo and the animal curls up and clings to the socket that makes your feet, then it sees you as its parent and gives you total confidence. This is how puppies sleep with parents and this is the most favorite position for cats. There is no greater compliment than that for a human being.
Curling between your legs
Do you sleep on your back and the animal snuggles between your legs? Well, that means there is too much noise in your bedroom and the animal is looking for an escape from that noise to sleep inside the barrier of your feet. Animals are always on the lookout for quiet caves or places and your feet do not meet this need. Look for the source of the noise and turn it off.
Lying between the two of you
The animal sleeps between you at night? He is actually jealous and wants to keep the threatening character away from who he sees as his parent or partner. Sometimes it is also the safest spot in the bed so the animal has chosen it. But if you see more signs of jealousy throughout the day, then your pet just needs more attention.
Curling up on the pillow
You sleep in bed but the animal takes over your pillow and pushes you aside? Your animal is looking for more softness and a sense of comfort and security. Such animals will also wake you up in the morning as soon as they get up and want you to feed them. Try to make them a very comfortable and safe place with food next door to make them feel better.
She slept under the blanket
Does your dog sleep under a blanket? Some animals need special comfort and security that comes from the contact that surrounds them. Take a blanket not too thick and wrap the animal in preparation for his sleep to add to his sense of security.
Shoved towards our face
The animal sprawled on us in the direction of our face? Well, this is an insecure animal that needs to see us all the time and feel our heartbeat. The animal is really trying to get closer to our faces and is afraid not to feel us. Try to strengthen his sense of connection and give him another attitude to calm him down.
Sleeping between your hands
Sleeping between hands also means connecting and wanting to bond. The pet hears your heartbeat and thus feels a deep bond. Beyond that, it's a posture that makes it easier for you to move if you're in bed. Anyway, invest in and strengthen the animal.
Sleep next to you face to face
This is a typical position for dogs and especially for dogs dealing with protection. This is a posture that allows the animal to wake up straight and protect its owner. Also, turning your head to the owner expresses a need for connection and a desire for closeness.
Sleep in the center of the bed
Oops. Did you get up in the morning and you're away with the pet in the center of the bed? You are spoiling the animal too much and you should consider whether you are harming it with more feeding or activity that prevents it from moving.
