Q: Is it normal for my cat to sleep for a part of the day?

Answer: Yes it is in face vats normally spend almost two-third of each day sleeping and they are only awake for just over a third. Sleep occur most readily when there is fatigue after severe muscular exercise and, like many animals, cats will often sleep after a large meal. Warmth is also important in inducing sleep, compensating for the slight fall in body temperature which occurs.

Sleep is recognized as being important in maintaining and restoring the normal function of the body tissues, especially the nervous system, and without sleep animals become irritable and ultimately severely ill. However, because the cats prefer the hours of twilight and darkness for many of their activities, the hoarse when they wish to sleep often do not coincide with our own.
