Animals all like to sleep, which is an indispensable and important behavior for them. Sleep can relieve fatigue of the body and brain, and prepare strength and energy for the next activity. Of course, cats are no exception. Cat owners can find that cats sleep most of the day. Cats are very vigilant. Even when they are sleeping, they will run away immediately when they hear any disturbance. In fact, many times, cats are very alert. Cats are mostly pretending to sleep.

1. A cat’s sleeping time is about twice as long as a human’s sleeping time. However, cats do not sleep together like people, but sleep in several times. Therefore, cats can get up at any time during the night. The lion, the leader of the cat family, sleeps about 20 hours a day.

2. Research shows that three-quarters of a cat’s sleep is false sleep, that is, a nap. Therefore, it seems that cats sleep for 16 hours a day, but in fact they only spend 4 hours in deep sleep. People have various postures when sleeping, and cats, like people, also have various postures when sleeping. Some cats sleep on their stomachs, some sleep sitting up, and sometimes they sleep on their backs. The cat also talks in its sleep, and this sleep talk is called chirping. Cats can also be frightened awake and open their eyes when they have nightmares.

3. Cats are very careful in choosing sleeping places. In summer, cats can accurately find a ventilated and cool place. In winter, cats can unerringly find a warm place. In addition, cats move their sleeping places multiple times following the movement of the sun. Like a sunflower always facing the sun.

4. Cats always strive for the most comfortable place for sleeping. For example, sleeping close to a heating stove often causes the cat's tail to be scorched; the mother cat and her cubs sometimes choose a comfortable place to sleep together, but this can easily cause the cubs to suffocate and die; Trampling and damaging furniture and supplies. These cat owners must take note.

5. Cats are less timid and are in a state of high alert even when resting or sleeping. When a cat hears a slight sound or sees something unfamiliar, it will immediately open its eyes, stare, and be ready to escape at any time. It will not slowly leave until it is judged that there is no threat to it. When encountering unfamiliar and non-threatening things, cats will often use their front paws to explore and fiddle with them out of curiosity.
