Cats sleep for so long every day, don't they have 'insomnia'?

For the shit shovel officer who works hard and lives, what is the greatest happiness every day?

I came home from get off work and had a good night's sleep after dinner.

On weekends, I can sleep a little longer in bed.

But after raising a cat, the shit shoveling officer found that no matter how long he slept, in front of the cat, he seemed to be "not getting enough sleep".

When the shit shoveler got up, the cat was sleeping; when the shit shoveler was sleeping, the cat was still lying in the cat's litter; no matter what the shit shoveler did, it seemed that the cat was sleeping.

In this regard, one can not help but ask a question:

"Don't cats worry about insomnia when they sleep so long every day?"

How long does a cat sleep every day?

do you know?

Kittens, adult cats, and older cats sleep differently.

Don't look at a kitten you just bought home. This kitty is so lively and active; in fact, kittens are sleeping most of the time.

Moreover, the biological clock of kittens is very similar to that of older cats, and they are particularly lethargic.

Generally speaking, the sleep time of kittens and senior cats can reach 16-18 hours.

what is this concept?

The time the cat is awake every day may only be as short as the time the shit shovel officer sleeps.

For adult cats, their sleep time is relatively less, about 12-14 hours.

This is because young cats need to sleep to make themselves more energy, and do not easily consume energy; and elderly cats, because they enter the second half of their lives, it is difficult to be interested in everything.

When the weather is good, older cats prefer to lie on the balcony and sleep while basking in the sun.

Why do cats sleep so long every day?

First, cats hunt prey in order to conserve energy.

For cats living in the wild, the amount of energy they need to hunt once is enormous.

Therefore, most of the time, cats use sleep to conserve their energy.

Have you seen Animal World?

When leopards are chasing their prey, their physical strength and stamina do not last; if the leopard has not caught the prey before the end of the short burst, then it is likely to be starving.

If the prey cannot be caught for a long time, the life of the leopard will also be threatened.

In the bones of cats, the living habits of cats are preserved.

Although pet cats do not need to hunt prey, their living habits are such that it is difficult to change.

Second, the cat's sleep may be due to boredom.

Do you think, what do pet cats usually do at home?

When the shit shovel officer is at home, the cat is still more active and will actively interact with the owner.

When the shit shoveling officer is not at home, what do cats do when they don't sleep besides being in a daze and amusing themselves?

You can't let your cat cook yourself like an owl every day, right?

About cat sleep:

In fact, when a cat is sleeping, it is not always in a "deep sleep" state.

This is how a cat sleeps:

Half an hour light sleep time + 15 minutes deep sleep + light sleep.

so cycle.

Moreover, "rapid eye movement sleep" is more likely to occur in kittens.

What does it mean?

Humans will also appear. In short, it is the process of light sleep, and it is easy to be awakened by a little sound.

But this REM sleep stage is also the stage where it is easy to dream.

You will find that some cats move their limbs while sleeping, which may be a dream of kittens~
