Odysseus is sleeping when the cattle are slaughtered.
I guess you mean what is the cattle of the sun IN the Odyssey. It was the cattle of the sun god. It was cattle sacred to Helios, the sun god.

Everyone died except for Odysseus,
Odysseus exhaustion is demonstrated by his failure to wake up and prevent his men from slaughtering the sun god cattle. It was a squall that forced them to land were the cattle were.
