How much time do cats sleep?

It varies greatly with the cat's age. Kittens will sleep 17-20 hours a day. As they age, cats will sleep less, to about 12 to 13 hours a day, but they will also spend a lot of time in a state of lowered awareness that is not exactly sleep and not exactly awake, and that substitutes for some sleeping time. As a cat gets very old, often its time asleep will increase again, to as much as 18 hours a day; but that may be cause for concern as it indicates that the cat's metabolism may be failing.

How long do cats sleep?

Cat-naps: This is where we get the term 'Cat-naps'. Cats spend a great deal of their time sleeping. The average cat sleeps for 13-18 hours a day. The exact number can change according to the cat's age and personality. Cats that spend the day alone at home tend to sleep throughout the day.


How long should a 5 week year old kitten sleep?

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!


Why do lions sleep for a long time?

All felines, from wild lions and cheetahs, to domesticated cats, spend most of their time in sleep. In the wild, sleep schedules have developed around heat of the day when cats sleep, and best time to hunt after dark when it is cooler. Also, all felines use a high amount of energy during prey-hunts. The "midnight crazies" in housecats, when the cat runs, jumps, attacks, and seems to be mildly possessed with catching "invisible prey", relates to thousands of years of relationship to their wild ancestors who were just getting up and ready to chase and hunt in the evening and night.

Do house cats die faster than stray cats?

In almost all cases, no. Stray cats fight for food, that still may not be edable, and get in many fights with other stray cats, and are injured a lot. They sleep on the streets and are almost always cold. A cat that is loved and fed and brushed has a much better life span. They never have to fight and risk being injured for food, and have a nice place to sleep. Some lucky stray cat may live a long time, but it is always going to be a hard life. A pet cat has a much better life.
