What time do cats usually go to bed?

Pastoral catsMany people will think that the cat in the house is sleeping all the time! There is hardly any waking time in sight, so how long does a cat sleep in a day? Let's find out today!

Cats spend 14-15 hours of the day sleeping, so cats are called "lazy cats". However, at the slightest sound, the cat's ears will move, and if someone approaches, it will suddenly get up. Because cats only have 4-5 hours to be really asleep.

But cats, which have been used to humans since childhood, sleep more dead and sleep longer.

Cats sleep an average of 15 hours, kittens and old cats sleep more than 20 hours, and they spend 2 or 3 of their lives sleeping.

Why do cats sleep so long? Experts in feline behavior research say that cats are very active at night.

Hunting, chasing, playing, etc., a total of about 6 hours, and during the day it is used to replenish energy to prepare for hunting at night, and domestic cats also continue the above habits.

Cats tend to have long and short sleeps, and instead of sleeping until dawn like humans, they fall asleep very quickly, first going into slow-wave sleep (confusion, mainly regaining energy) and then moving on to REM sleep (dreaming phase). Usually deep sleep and light sleep alternate, even in the deep sleep stage, the cats are very alert!

Cats sleep for a long time, usually go to bed after breakfast, and spend most of the afternoon sleeping. Usually they are more energetic from 18 to 22 o'clock in the evening, like to play, like to pester the owner.

Cats sleep relatively little before 6 months, cats at this age are still children, as if they have endless physical strength, always curious about everything, a small piece of paper can play for half a day. When I reach adulthood, I don't like to move much, almost except for eating and sleeping, hehe, it's all like this.

Inch women will be righteous and unhesitating.

Kittens sleep about 20 hours a day, kittens are born hunting animals, and are more defensive about the surrounding environment, because most of the time they eat are light sleep, only a few hours when they are asleep, sometimes they see kittens rolling their eyes when they sleep, and their calves kick and kick, which means that the kitten is asleep.

It is normal for cats to sleep 15 hours a day and kittens for about 20 hours, but cats only sleep for about four or five hours. Adult cats sleep in a half-asleep state, alternating between deep sleep and light sleep. Cats are predators, and this half-asleep state allows them to maintain sufficient energy and observe their surroundings.

Cats belong to the predators, in ancient times and modern times, cats are hunting for a living, their food ** are obtained by their own hunting.

Because of the particularity of their own body, and the prey it hunts often moves at night, so it has a habit of sleeping during the day and getting up at night to hunt, which has been maintained to this day, because cats are domesticated by humans for a shorter time than dogs, so most of them still maintain this habit (but now many pet cats have not gotten up at night to move, and they are sleeping at night and during the day). Because they need to hunt at night, they must rest well during the day in order to have plenty of energy to obtain prey, but the environment in which it lives during the day is not safe, and they need to always pay attention to being hunted by other prey, or always pay attention to the appearance of their own prey, so when they sleep during the day, they are always vigilant, and can not be 100% put into sleep, so they can only take this method of sleeping for a while and waking up for a while, which is also the surface reason for cats to keep sleeping.
