Why Cats Sleep A Lot

Our cats can be a firecracker sometimes. They love to play and if you don’t keep a close eye on them chances are, you’ll have most of your belongings torn to bits. Surprisingly though, cats are heavy sleepers. When they’re not playing with your curtains or chasing a loose ball of yarn, they’re on a comfortable spot napping. While we may notice our cats to be napping most of the time, this is quite normal. They need more rest than we do to rejuvenate their energy levels. They’re very erratic sleepers as well. Unlike humans who have regular sleep patterns, cats will sleep at different times of the day. Cats do this so they have a chance to monitor their surroundings. And because they love to play when they’re awake this contributes to their erratic sleeping.
