Of all domestic animals, the most mysterious creature is the cat. Many myths and beliefs are associated with them, but the most important thing is that cats are driven by predatory instincts.

They even appear in domestic cats, and are not associated with hunting and survival, but with sleep.

Experts have concluded that domestic cats sleep not only out of boredom.

1. In the wild, animals need to be ready to hunt and stay hidden, so they usually sleep most of the time to conserve energy and be ready for any changes in the situation.

2. Also, cats can sleep all day due to their temperament. They can be very lazy and not have much motivation to do anything other than sleep.

3. Some cats may also sleep due to stress or anxiety, such as if they feel uncomfortable or don't know what to do.

Researchers agree that sleep is a completely natural process for cats.

However, if your cat sleeps too much or too little, it may be a sign of a health or behavioral problem that requires attention and treatment.
