Does Your Cat Sleep it’s Life Away?

Saturday, August 7, 2021
posted by Jim Murphy

Is your cat “cat napping” its life away? I find mine in their cat beds, couches, or even on the floor shutting out the world. Don’t be concerned. Domestic cats are similar or wild cats in many ways including their sleep and activity patterns which are called crepuscular. This means that they are active at dawn and dusk which is when their prey is out and about. The rest of the hours in the day are spent conserving their energy for the big expenditure they must make in order to hunt. Our domesticated cats obviously don’t need to worry about such things but their genes enable them to keep a schedule full of down time. An average of 16 hours a day or two thirds of their lives are spent resting or sleeping.  If you notice any big changes like listlessness or not eating, contact your veterinarian. Otherwise just get a comfortable cat bed and your cat will love you.

Remember, your pets count!
