How do cats' sleep patterns differ from humans, and why do they sleep so much?
1 Answer
Cats typically sleep more than humans, with the average cat sleeping anywhere from 12-16 hours a day. This is because cats are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. Cats also have much shorter sleep cycles than humans, meaning they often wake up after a short nap and are ready to go again. Cats also have a different sleep wake cycle than humans, with cats being more active at night and humans being more active during the day.
