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.
On average, dogs sleep about 14 hours a day (though large breeds may sleep more), while cats spend 15 to 20 hours snoozing (yes, be jealous). Dogs tend to nap during the day and sleep through the night, while cats get most of their shuteye during daytime hours and are most active after dark.
