Catnap

Cats sleep a lot, an average of fifteen hours a day but why do they do that?

First of all cats are most active around twilight, that’s why they sleep mostly during the day. They recharge their battery so that they can hunt and play again when it gets darker. All this running, pouncing, climbing and stalking takes an amazing amount of energy. Cats are also affected by the weather, just like human beings. They dont like the cold or rainy days and rather stay inside. But for kittens the most important reason is growing. A growth hormone is released only during sleep, something they can’t miss!
