Studie - Viele Katzen sind Linksschläfer Katzen schlafen jeden Tag etwa 12 bis 16 Stunden. Laut einer Studie liegen sie dabei am liebsten auf ihrer linken Seite. Forschende vermuten dahinter eine evolutionär entstandene Überlebensstrategie.

Cats prefer to sleep on left side (me too!).

Allows their right brain a "privileged view of approaching animals without being obstructed by their own body."

Überleben für Vielschläfer: Katzen schlafen gern auf der linken Seite – um so schneller reagieren zu können? Katzen schlummern täglich bis zu 16 Stunden – und das offenbar überwiegend auf der linken Seite liegend. Laut einer Studie aus Bochum könnte das eine Überlebensstrategie sein. Weitere Forschung sei ab...

What a fun study! They found 2/3 cats prefer to sleep on their left side as their right brain hemisphere is specialized for threat processing and could give them an advantage in detecting predators. 🐈 🧪

Why cats prefer to sleep on their left side may be part of a survival strategy An international research team that analyzed several hundred YouTube videos of sleeping cats found that they prefer to sleep on their left side.

Analysis of hundreds of cat videos indicates a preference for sleeping on the left side, which may enhance rapid threat detection and escape by engaging the brain’s right hemisphere upon waking. doi.org/psw5

Katzen schlafen bevorzugt auf der linken Schulter. Das haben Onur Güntürkün von der RUB und ‪@ocklenburg.bsky.social‬ mit internationalen Kolleg*innen herausgefunden. Sie vermuten, dass dieses Verhalten die Überlebenschancen der Tiere steigert. #CatContent

NEW PAPER! 🐈 Why do cats prefer sleeping on their left side?

Our new study in @currentbiology.bsky.social suggests it may give their right hemisphere (specialized for threat detection) a better view, even during awakening!🧠
