I've often wondered why my
friend's cat likes to sleep on top of my belly.
Not that I mind. But imagine the feel of a 20-pound cat suddenly
descending on that sensitive part while you sleep.
Why does it head straight for the stomach and not the legs or arms?
I searched the web looking for a rational study of some kind. Instead I found a variety of
"practical" answers from cat
lovers.
The softness and warmth of the stomach make a cat feel safe. I can imagine that.
Sleeping on a human's stomach is a sign of feline affection. That's an idea.
The cat detects if there is a stomach problem and sleeps on the tummy to "heal" it. Now that's really interesting.

But I have a nagging
feeling. Could it be that a cat sleeping on my belly is an indication that my "abs" needs
workouts?
Just wondering.
