There are times when I often wonder what it would be like to sleep as much as a cat. Would I have more energy? Would I be less stressed out? Why is it that cats sleep so much? It seems to me that most cats sleep whenever they get a chance.
The truth is that cats sleep about twice as much as humans. A cats sleeping pattern can vary depending on the cat’s age, size, and temperament. On average, a cat will sleep 13-16 hours per day. Think about it, a cat will sleep for about 2/3s of its lifetime. That’s a lot of sleep for such a small animal.
