It has to do with volume vs surface area. All things lose heat through the surface. The bigger the surface, the more heat lost. An animal curled into a ball presents the least amount of surface area for its volume, which means it takes the least amount of energy to keep warm.
Woolly bear caterpillars curl into a ball as a defensive mechanism to protect themselves from predators. This behavior makes them appear less appealing or more difficult to consume. Additionally, curling up can help them conserve moisture and maintain their body temperature during colder weather.
I had never seen centipede curl up if disturbed. Milipedes do curl.
Cats can generally tolerate 20-degree weather for short periods of time if they have shelter, warmth, and access to food and water. However, extended exposure to such temperatures can be dangerous for cats, especially if they are not adequately protected from the cold. It is recommended to provide them with a warm and safe environment during cold weather.
