Should you wake a sleeping cat?

Question

 Should I wake my sleeping cat?

Answer 1

It's okay to wake a sleeping cat, however, there are two stages of sleep that act shouldn't be woken up; rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement. This is because when you wake a cat at this stage of sleep, it will be deprived of sleep and end up being lethargic and irritable.

Answer 2

there is no problem waking up your cat as the cat will not do anything but if cat is blinking fastly you should not wake it up because it may get agressive

Answer 3

Most of the time it’s okay to wake cats that are asleep. Make sure you don’t deprive them of sleep waking them too often though.

Answer 4

No, it is generally not recommended to wake a sleeping cat. Cats need plenty of rest to stay healthy and happy, and waking them can disrupt their sleep cycle and cause them stress. If you need to move your cat, it is best to do so gently and without startling them.

Answer 5

Cats need a lot of sleep, so don't wake them up or disturb them when they go off to their favourite nap spot. Trying to keep them awake during the day so they don't hunt at night won't work and will only cause your cat a lot of distress.
