Cats sleep a lot!


Cats are mammals that sleep more per day, spend an average of 16 hours per day sleeping. If you think about it, a cat just seven years of age it was agreed two years of your life!
While they need long periods of rest to restore the energy, sleep is light. Even asleep, your senses alert and stay out of deep sleep at maximum readiness for action in a second, something that other species can not.
Cats that live indoors sleep more because they have fewer incentives and do not need to look for food. Already have outdoor cats fight for survival, have to deal with many natural enemies, so can only be distracted by short periods of time. Age also has cats, elderly tend to take longer naps.
If you think your cat's been sleeping too much, consult your veterinarian, it may be a sign of lethargy and illness. If you think the extra sleep is lazy thinking to buy him more toys and give it more time to exercise.
