Why Do Cats Sleep So Much?

Have you ever wondered why this cute creatures always sleep?

Actually cat have their sleep cycle which is 15 hours a day and sometimes they can sleep for 20 hours. Wow, so incredible if we want to compare with human sleep hours just 8 hours a day. It makes me curious to know the reason.

1. Easily getting sleepy.

- Like us to, cat love to sleep. Kitten and old cats are more likely to sleep for a long time rather than adult cats.

2. Affected by the weather.

-Cats will become lazy, start yawning and shut their eyes during rainy and cold days, same like humans to.

3. Sleep during the day, become active around twilight.

4. Energy conservation.

- Cats have the physiology of predators, mainly they will hunting during night.

All of above, are the reasons why cats sleep so much. It is okay for your cat to sleep for a long hours as long they are active and healthy when they are awake.
