There are many ways to show gentle care for your loved ones, and one of the simplest, but also most enjoyable, is to simply tuck them in when they sleep. Our spouses, our children, our parents, our cats... Wait, cats?
Yes, that's absolutely right. After all, they are full-fledged members of our families, and they need care no less than humans. At least on the internet, there is a dedicated community with over 437K devoted members, where you can see plenty of photos of cats lovingly tucked in by their happy owners. Or even doing it themselves.

Her First Day Home 6 Months Ago :)
My Sweet Boy Mufasa Passed Away Monday, Here He Is Tucked In. Gone Too Soon
Meet Fuzzynuckets. He's 6 Today. Found Him Abandoned In A Hole In My Yard Just A Few Hours Old 6 Years Ago
Bored Panda already reviewed this community more than three years ago, and little has changed since then. The only difference is that there are more members - almost a third more, and significantly more of these incredibly adorable and cozy tucked-in kitties.
So let's quickly glance at these photos, because just looking at them definitely raises the temperature of the surrounding area by a couple of degrees! Incredibly relevant in winter, isn't it?

My Little Baby Before He Got So Big
If you have ever dealt with any cats, you know for sure that they do love warmth. The thing is that they have special temperature receptors that are activated immediately after birth - so that the still blind tiny kitten can quickly and accurately find its mom, the main source of food, cleanliness and safety at this tender age.
Over time, however, as the cat grows up, these receptors become even more sensitive - so that the cats can easily track any change in the temperature around them. And even if a loving mother cat is a thing of the distant past - why not warm up in a cozy blanket here and now?

In addition, if the average body temperature of cats is higher than, for example, that of humans, then at rest it invariably decreases. And since cats love both warmth and lying down - they willingly look for a warm place where they can relax, without losing any of the temperature around them. And we, loving cat owners, help them with this in every possible way, right?

Meet Oliver. He Lives For When The Bed Is Made
Making my bed? Not a chance lol as soon as my two see me they run to take control under over craziness. So I make 1/2 and walk away let them play hide and seek.Then come back for other side later!
However, the blanket can also pose a certain threat to your pet - after all, while healthy and physically strong kitties are unlikely to face any danger climbing under the blanket, then in the case of older cats, sick ones or little kittens, there is some risk. For example, the cat can get lost in the folds of the fabric, or simply get stuck under the weight of the blanket, if it's actually heavy enough for them.
So in this case, it's better to take a photo of your pet and after posting the image online for everyone to admire, simply check if there is any risk to their health. And if not - well, let them sleep like that, to their undoubted pleasure.

By the way, regarding the publication of photos in the community, there are several simple rules: the image must be of a cat, it must be tucked in, and community members should definitely be civil and strongly refrain from posting any gruesome content.
Well, quite reasonable rules - so if you want to share a photo of your tucked-in kitty in the comments under this post as well, please make sure to follow these simple rules too. Or just scroll this incredibly warm and cozy list to the end - because all the kitties here definitely deserve purre admiration!
