If you're a cat owner like me, you probably wonder how your cats can sleep all the time.  I joke a lot that my cats don't function well with-out 18 hours of sleep a day but it turns out that I'm not far from the truth.  Cats enjoy their quality snoozing time which can last anywhere from 13 to 16 hours per day.  About the same amount of time my wife sleeps...love you honey :-)

Seriously your kitty spends about two-thirds of his entire life in dreamland, almost more then any other mammal.  Most of their sleeping is done at night.  I've heard people say that cats are "nocturnal" but that isn't completely true.  Cats are actually "crepuscular,"  which simply means that they are most active at dawn and dusk.  You might ask, why?   Because in the wild cats hunt at dawn and dusk, which is when their prey is the most active.

So whether you have a kitten or an older cat, I can guarantee that they are going to do a lot of sleeping!  It is just in their nature.  It is just like the old saying:  "Let a sleeping cat lie."  That's what I do.

Well better go.  I feel a nap coming on for me and my cats. 

Have a purrable day....
