At 8 weeks of age, a kitten will still spend about half its time sleeping.

Eat, play, sleep. Repeat. What a great life!

So long as your kitten is eating regularly, using the litter box, and playing, do not be concerned that it sleeps for a large portion of its day - it's still growing, and all that play time wears it out!

Cats are nocturnal so don't count on your kitten sleeping all night. He'll sleep even less at night once he gets older.
