Your cat sleeps too much?

My cat sleeps all day long...why???

Thats plainly because...Cats like to sleep :)

According to PURINA.COM,
Don't worry if your cat seems to sleep a lot. On average they sleep 16 to 18 hours per day! Research shows that cats do enter a stage of sleep in which dreams occur. Their brain activity indicates that they have dreams, but the real question is, "What do cats dream about?" Hehehe

And the specific personality and breed of the cat will determine where the cat chooses to sleep. In my case, my miumiu is a mix-persian breed. And persian breed is quite a lazy type..so expect a straight 2-figure number of hours nap from them!

Some like to be in secluded places where no one can disturb them. They like to lie in high cupboards and similar places. Other breeds of cats like to sleep in places where everyone is converging. These cats like to be noticed. So they sleep at the center of the foyer, in the middle of the stairs and even on the couch, especially when there are guests. Yeapp..sounds like my 'Oh so vain' felines..

Nonetheless, as cats get older, they tend to sleep more. But be sure that, if he/she wakes up, she is alert and active. If your cat is eating and drinking okay, using the litter box okay, and seems fine otherwise, no need to be too concerned. If the sleeping all day is a relatively sudden development, however, and you’re concerned, I’d zip the cat over to the vet for a quick examination.
