Why Does My Cat Sleep on My Feet? — La Habra, CA

La Habra gets 29 days a year below 45°F. That is the local version of a question every cat owner asks, and the answer is the same everywhere: a temperature gap.

The temperature gap

A cat’s thermoneutral zone runs roughly 86–97°F (30–36°C). A human’s is around 64–72°F. Domestic cats descend from the African wildcat, a desert animal, so the heat-seeking is ancestral rather than fussiness. In a room you find pleasant, your cat is mildly cold — all day, every day.

What that looks like in La Habra

La Habra has a population of about 61,653. and sits 19 miles southeast of Los Angeles, CA. Between October and April it averages an overnight low of 50.4°F, bottoming out at 40°F, with 29 days below 45°F — roughly 1 months of the year when a cat indoors is actively looking for a heat source.

Enclosure, not just heat

Warmth is half of it. Cats prefer enclosed, covered resting places — a box, a bag, a cave bed. Sleep is when an animal is most vulnerable, and walls on three sides mean fewer directions to watch; shelter studies find it measurably lowers stress. An enclosed space also traps the cat’s own body heat, which is why a box is warmer than the floor beside it.

Does Cat Covey ship to La Habra, CA?
Yes — Cat Covey ships anywhere in the United States, including La Habra, CA. Free shipping on orders over $79.
How big is Cat Covey?
60 inches by 50 inches — a standard throw. The pouch at the foot end runs roughly 18 inches wide in production, deep enough for two average cats or one large cat plus your feet.
What is it made of?
Micro Mink fleece on the outside at 280–320 GSM, with a Sherpa fleece pouch lining at 200–250 GSM and a thermal layer between for the foot well. Machine washable.
Will my cat actually use it?
Cats prefer enclosed, covered resting places — a box, a bag, a cave bed. The pouch has a deep gusset and a semi-rigid entry seam so it holds its shape instead of collapsing flat, which is what makes it read as a cave rather than a fold of fabric.
