If you have a cat, you may think that he spends the day sleeping and you are not without reason. Pussycats prefer to rest during the day since they are rather nocturnal animals, but not all the time you see your pet with their eyes closed is having a deep sleep. On average, the domestic cat sleeps about 17 hours a day and of these, three out of four are light sleepers. When you are in deep sleep, your eyes will move rapidly (with the eyelids closed) just as we do in REM (Rapid Eye Movement), and your brain will remain active. It may also move its claws, muzzle, whiskers, or ears .
In the same way that humans benefit from a restful sleep every night, we will have to respect our pet’s rest. If you have children, educate them to understand why they should not wake up the kitten to play with him whenever they feel like it. Continuing with the importance of sleeping for the animal, it is very important that if you observe substantial changes in its sleeping habits, you take it to the vet without fail. The excess can be synonymous with disease or pain and the defect thyroid problems. Ah! And if your cat has suddenly started snoring, when it never has, go to the vet!
Sleep kitty, sleep
There are times when cats choose impossible places to take a nap but generally they opt for quiet places where they feel safe and warm , as their body temperature drops during sleep. It is possible that yours will go up on you as soon as he sees you lying on the couch and this may be because he wants to strengthen ties with you, because he seeks the warmth that your body gives off and that he feels very safe with you. It may also be that while he sleeps you have seen him lean his back on an object in the house. The explanation is very simple and is that this prevents something or someone from appearing from behind. Nothing is casual here!
