Cats usually like to sleep on their stomachs during the day. In most cases, they shrink into a circle and lie somewhere, but some cats will lie on their belly facing up, which is very strange. So what does it mean to lie down with your belly facing up? Is it normal for a cat to lie up and sleep? Let’s take a look at the reason why the cat lies up and sleeps.

1. The environment is quiet and comfortable. The abdomen of the cat is more sensitive. Therefore, generally, cats will only lie down their belly facing up if they trust their owners more and the environment is quiet and comfortable. If you feel threatened or uneasy, you will hide your stomach. In this regard, the owner can try to touch the cat, or use a cat teaser to play with the cat, which helps to enhance the relationship with the cat.

2. The weather is hot

If it is a hot summer, the cat's belly may be dissipating heat, because the hair on the cat's belly is relatively thin, and lying down can make the body cooler. Generally, this situation is more common in summer, and the owner can also use electric fans, air conditioners and other equipment to help the cat escape the summer heat.

3. Erection

If it is an adult female cat, the sudden behavior of lying upwards may also be in estrus. At the same time, howling, urinating, and constantly rolling on the ground to attract cats of the opposite sex. If the owner does not intend to let the female cat breed, it is recommended to sterilize it before it first estrus, which can relieve the pain caused to the cat by estrus.

4. Too fat

If a cat is too fat, it will lie down its belly facing up all day, because only in this way will it feel comfortable, and some cats even don’t want to get up after lying down. If your cat looks obese, the owner should pay attention to losing weight to the cat, otherwise it will easily cause a variety of diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, etc.
