There's no doubt about it: cats sure know how to sleep. Although the amount of time spent napping varies from cat to cat, and depends on the cat's age and personality, felines spend an average of 13 to 16 hours each day curled up in slumber. Only the opossum and the bat sleep more â napping away almost 20 hours a day. Nobody is sure why cats sleep so much.
Kittens sleep 16 to 18 hours per day. Newborn kittens sleep almost all the time. In time, kittens start sleeping less and less, until their sleeping hours are equivalent to 16 hours.
