MINI X Cats have a statistical preference for sleeping on their left side

 A

The image is a snippet of an article or column by Natasha Rita discussing a quirky observation about feline behavior. Here is the gist of the content:

Summary

The author reflects on the unpredictable nature of cats—recounting how her own cat displayed a range of erratic behaviors in a single day, from purring to attacking a paperclip.

The core "news" of the piece is a reference to research published in Current Biology, which suggests that cats have a statistical preference for sleeping on their left side. The author frames this finding as yet another example of cats being intentionally "contrary" or "counterintuitive."


Key Points

  • Feline Unpredictability: Cats are inherently mysterious and often act in nonsensical ways.

  • Scientific Finding: A study indicates a side-preference (lateralization) in how cats sleep.

  • The "Left-Side" Lean: Specifically, they seem to favor their left side over their right.

Would you like me to see if I can find more details about that specific Current Biology study for you?
