Cats are known for their love of sleep, often spending up to 16 hours a day snoozing. While it may seem excessive, there are fascinating reasons behind their sleep habits. Understanding why your cat sleeps so much can give you insight into their overall health and well-being:
Sleep is vital for your cat’s physical and mental well-being. While it’s normal for cats to sleep a lot, it’s important to monitor their habits for any unusual changes.
“Cats are unique creatures, and their sleep patterns tell us a lot about their instincts and health,” says Dr. Campos of Gretna Veterinary Hospital.
By providing a safe, comfortable environment and scheduling regular checkups, you can ensure your feline friend gets the rest they need to thrive. If you notice any significant changes in their sleeping habits, consult your veterinarian for guidance.
