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.
About 96 percent of cat owners allow their cats to sleep in the bedroom. Almost 50 percent of those cats are allowed to sleep in the bed. And 38 percent of those sleep on the pillow with the owner. It should be noted, too, that younger cats prefer the pillow, while older cats prefer to sleep at the foot of the bed. Although the amount of time spent sleeping varies from cat to cat, and depends on age and personality, felines spend an average of 13 to 16 hours each day curled up in slumber.
