Do you think cats are just lazily dozing off in the warm sun?

Oh no, dear friends, in fact, cats are experts at mastering the "art of sunbathing". There's a science behind what they do.

Cat owners enjoy the baptism of the sun every day, not only to maintain the shine of their gorgeous hair, but also to calibrate the mysterious and precise biological clock in their bodies. Now, let me take you to uncover the mystery behind this sunbathing!

1. Did you know? Although cats don't look at clocks, they can always wake you up at 5 a.m. every morning, and they always "meow" in advance when it's time to feed. What does it all owe to? That's right, exactly where the sun is! Cats' biological clocks are more sensitive than alarm clocks, and they adjust their daily routines by sensing the location of sunlight.

2. When you take the quilt out to dry on a sunny day, do you feel that warm and dry comfort? In fact, cats basking in the sun are like you drying a quilt! Not only does UV light help them get rid of those annoying fleas and ticks, but it also makes their fur more fluffy and soft. So, when we see a cat lying there quietly and not moving, it's actually a free sunshine "fur treatment", isn't this multi-functional grooming service worthy of our applause?

3. In addition to enjoying the warmth, cats also like to nest in the warm sun to recharge themselves. Sunlight boosts blood circulation and speeds up metabolism, which is very helpful in activating their immune system. Who wouldn't want to be stronger? Even our little kittens thought so.

Of course, in addition to proper sun exposure, a balanced diet and moderate exercise are equally important, which are indispensable factors to ensure the healthy growth of cats!

4. Scientific studies have shown that sunlight can boost the production of serotonin, a well-known "happiness hormone". So when you find your pet basking in the sun, understand that it's full of joy and contentment. Serotonin not only boosts mood, but also helps relieve anxiety. It can be said that for cats, sunbathing is one of their best emotional regulation tools, which can help them maintain a calm mind and reduce the burden of stress.

So the next time you see your pet cat lazily lying in the sun, don't mistake it for just being in a daze with nothing to do. In fact, proper sun exposure has a positive impact on their health, coat quality, immunity, and emotional management!

However, it is important to note that while sun exposure is many, it is not advisable to expose it to bright light for too long. Find a cosy nook near a window for your little one and place a cat climbing frame or cushion for him to rest on, so that he can enjoy the sun and occasionally enjoy the scenery outside the window. Remember to control the time, otherwise be careful of being complained by the picky little guy that the owner is too negligent!
