Cats Ignore Spatial Limitations, Choosing Smallest Spots Regardless of Comfort
Cats ignore perceived space limitations, opting for the smallest spaces. They will settle in, despite appearing squished or uncomfortable to human observers.
Cats often select the smallest and most awkward spaces, regardless of available alternatives. Even with a perfectly sized and placed plush bed, a cat may still prefer a more challenging location. If there is enough room for a paw, a cat will commit to fitting in. The cat may turn around a few times before settling into its chosen spot. What seems impossible to humans may appear natural to a cat. Once a cat decides a spot works, it will settle in completely.
