Why do cats sleep so much?

แมวนอน

Which cat in your house likes to sleep especially? Whenever you turn around and see it, it's always sleeping. It sleeps like it's going to die for many hours, so much so that we, the owners, can't help but worry. But when we see that it's sleeping soundly, we don't want to wake it up.
In fact, cats don't sleep a lot because they're lazy. Have you ever wondered why cats sleep so much?
Cats usually sleep about 12-15 hours per day. Kittens and older cats will sleep longer. However, the amount of time they sleep depends on other factors, including their daily routine.

Now we come to the question of why cats like to sleep so much.
The answer is that cats spend most of their time sleeping to recharge their batteries.
Cats are like us humans. Try to observe that they tend to run out of battery during the day. Because they are mostly active during dusk or dawn. They have a lot of energy. They go out to do things, walk and run until they are exhausted. When they sleep, it's like they recharge their energy. The more they sleep, the more energy they have.
Therefore, if anyone thinks that your little one sleeps a lot because they are lazy, that’s not true. Your little one is recharging their energy. The more active or hyper they are, the more likely they are to sleep because they are using up a lot of energy.
However, there may be some cats who sleep up to 20 hours a day, but this is concerning because cats who sleep more than 15 hours a day may mean that they are bored, do not want to go out, do not want to do anything. Owners must observe because the cat may be stressed.
Knowing this, sometimes I wish I was born as a cat too. My main job is sleeping, my secondary job is eating. Eating and sleeping, it goes on and on. Life is so good. As for me, I have to stay up all night to earn money to take care of these little ones, right, all you cat slaves? 🥲 Spending money on them all the time.
