Why do cats and dogs sleep a lot?

Answer 1

normally its for comfort or warmth. cats let off a lot of body heat so when it gets cold they often huddle closer to each other to keep warm. also if your cats get on with each other then they probably just like each other's company.

Answer 2

I suppose it is because they are bored and don't have anythig else to do. My cat sleeps 8 hours while I am asleep and very rarely does she sleep when I am up. She is a very active cat and I interact with, talk to and play with her all the time.

Answer 3

Because it wanted to and thought it would be nice. Because like the hood of a car, it is the warmest part, and cats love to sleep on warm things.

Answer 4

Do you mean what do cats sleep on?

They'll sleep on anything, a blanket, a bed,

a cat tree, a windowsill, anything really. They're contortionists.

Answer 5

Your dog is deferring to your cat. Canines show submission by exposing their vulnerable belly to to a higher-ranking animal. It seems as if your cat is the "boss" of the house.
