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.
Cats sleep about 14 hours out of 24, but not all at one time. Many are fairly nocturnal and active at times during the night. There's a reason for the expression catnaps. Can't really MAKE a cat sleep. But cuddling and petting and grooming and making her comfortable calms her down and sleep often follows.
