That's where dogs sleep unless they are taught to sleep on a cushion or couch. Wild dogs sleep on or in the ground so sleeping on the floor is the next best thing when they are kept inside a house. But when they are outside they sleep in a kennel.

Cats show affection to their superiors (In this cause you) They will curl up with you in your lap anywhere that's warm, when they first jump up they start kneeding at you with their forepaws. They do this because that is how they get milk through their mother to where they are suckling. Once a cat settles down you may need tto A use the washroom B leave C get up and walk around cause your butts numb. I suggest picking up your cat and setting it on the warmest part of the blanket to make SURE it'll stay there. After that come back and just pick him/her up and set her/him back they way he/she was origionally sitting on you. the reason they climb up on your lap is through sffection or for the warmpth.

Love. Pugs were bred for royalty. They were used to keep their laps warm and for company. Not only pugs, but all puppys do that to keep you company and to stay near you.

I think that most animals like to nestle themselves in between sturdy structures for protection. Or they are attempting to protect you. Or it may just be their way of displaying affection.

Dogs do this to make them feel and be more dominant. Some dogs are also possessive and they want to be protective if their owner or territory.
