For those who work hard and live a hard life, what is the greatest happiness every day?
came home from get off work and had a good sleep after dinner.
During the weekend break, I can sleep in bed a little longer. After
got a cat, he discovered that no matter how long he slept, he never seemed to get enough sleep in front of cats.
When the shit shovel gets up, the cat is sleeping; when the shit shovel goes to bed, the cat is still lying in the cat's nest; no matter what the shit shovel does, the cat seems to spend all his time sleeping.
In this regard, some people can't help but ask a question:
"Cats sleep for so long every day, don't they worry about insomnia?"
How long do cats sleep every day?
Do you know?
The sleeping time of kittens, adult cats and elderly cats is different.
Don’t look at the kitten you just bought home. This cat is so lively and active; in fact, the kitten spends most of its time sleeping.
Moreover, the biological clock of young cats is very similar to that of elderly cats, and they are particularly lethargic.
Generally speaking, kittens and elderly cats can sleep for 16-18 hours.
What is the concept?
The time a cat is awake every day may only be as short as the time the cat is sleeping.
For adult cats, their sleep time is relatively less, about 12-14 hours.
This is because young cats need to sleep to allow themselves to have more energy and not consume energy easily; while for older cats, it is because they have entered the second half of their lives and it is difficult for them to be interested in everything.
When the weather is nice, elderly cats prefer to lie on the balcony and sleep while basking in the sun.
Why do cats sleep so long every day?
First, cats capture prey in order to conserve energy.
For cats living in the wild, the energy they need to expend once to hunt is huge.
Therefore, most of the time, cats will sleep to conserve their own energy.
Have you seen Animal World?
LeopardsWhen hunting prey, their physical strength and endurance do not last; if the leopard has not caught the prey before the short burst of power ends, then it is likely to starve.
If the prey cannot be caught for a long time, the leopard's life will also be threatened.
Cats have feline living habits deep in their bones.
Although pet cats do not need to catch prey, their living habits are such that they are difficult to change.
Secondly, the cat’s sleep may be due to boredom.
Think about it, what do pet cats usually do at home?
When the cat is at home, the cat is still relatively active and will actively interact with its owner.
When the cat owner is not at home, apart from being in a daze and amusing themselves, what do cats do when they are not sleeping?
You can't let a cat live with himself every day like owl , right?
About cats’ sleep:
In fact, when cats sleep, they are not always in a state of “deep sleep”.
A cat’s sleep process is as follows:
half an hour of light sleep + 15 minutes of deep sleep + light sleep.
loops like this.
Moreover, " rapid eye movement sleep " is more likely to occur in young cats.
What does this mean?
It also occurs in humans. To put it simply, it is the process of light sleep, and it is easy to be awakened by the slightest sound.
But this rapid eye movement sleep stage is also a stage where dreams are easy to occur.
You will find that some cats move their limbs while sleeping. This may be the kitten dreaming~
