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.
The average cat sleeps for 15 hours per day, but individual cats vary widely in their shut-eye requirements. A normal healthy cat routinely gets 13 to 20 hours of sleep in a day, so donât worry if yours seems stuck to the same few spots around the house from sunrise to sunset. Adult cats sleep less than young kittens or senior cats, who need more time to recuperate.
