Why Do Cats Sleep A Lot: The Obvious Reason
Adult cats spend about two-thirds of their lives sleeping, which can sometimes cause anxiety in their owners.
What is the reason for such a love of sleep?
The whole point is that long sleep is embedded in these animals at the genetic level.
Since cats are predators by nature, spending long periods of time in bed is necessary for them to maintain their energy levels and recuperate for the next hunt.
Being crepuscular animals, their peak activity occurs during the twilight hours – at sunset and at dawn.
What should a caring owner do if his pet doesn’t let him get enough sleep?
The six to eight hours that the cat is awake should be devoted to active games - especially in the evenings, when Barsik is determined to hunt.
Use both homemade and store-bought toys, and also provide your pet with a scratching post - all this will help him satisfy his instincts and, exhausted, sleep until your alarm rings.
