Many people are surprised by the fact that cats "sleep" during daylight hours in order to start their mischief in the evening or closer to night.
Some people think that animals are simply being naughty.
However, there are simple and logical explanations for this daily routine.
Why do cats like to sleep during the day?
This is due to instincts.
In their natural habitat, cats preferred to go out in search of food at the safest time of day for themselves - at night.
During the day they gained strength and energy.
Animals no longer need to hunt to survive, but the habit remains unchanged, experts say.
Lack of interesting leisure activities
If a cat has nothing to do, it prefers to go to sleep. If you want to add variety to your pet's leisure time, start spending time with it and provide it with the necessary toys.
Weather
If the cat doesn't like the weather conditions, it tries to "wait them out" by sleeping. That's why in hot and cold weather our pets often go to sleep.
In hot weather, the animal finds the coolest place in the house and enjoys it. If the apartment is cold, the cat tries to keep the available heat.
