Why Does My Cat Sleep So Much?

The Discerning Cat

The Discerning Cat

Nocturnal Patterns

Cats have two specific periods of high energy; early in the morning before the sun rises and early in the evening at sunset.

Energy Conservation

Cats expend a lot of energy when they are indeed awake and active. A cat’s body temperature is significantly higher than a human’s, and they burn many calories, given how much they eat.

Just like people, they also need to recharge and repair. This makes sleep very appealing to the cat’s bodily needs.

When Should You Be Concerned?

Not all sleep is healthy, and not all the time. Here’s when you must look into possible problems with your cat and its sleepiness.

Boredom

When bored, they may sink into a malaise that includes unhealthy sleep. They may even suffer from depression or anxiety. A good collection of cat toys will help here.

Illness

Certain types of illness can affect a cat’s sleep. If a cat is sleeping uncharacteristically much, it may be a sign of something not quite right.
