Cat Burrows Under Blankets. I’d be careful with a kitten, but an adult cat isn’t going to have any trouble letting you know if you’re hurting it, and they have very good reflexes when it comes to avoiding being squished. Although domesticated, a cat’s instincts remain strong.

Burrowing under a blanket gives a cat a satisfying sense of security, allowing it to sleep more soundly. Dogs, cats, hamsters, even birds (spoiled due to the owner’s influence) tend to cuddle under blankets to satisfy their comfort needs. Your cat may be hiding under the blankets for two reasons.
