Is Your Cat Plotting World Domination? Decoding Feline Weirdness

Why Felines Sleep So Deeply

Cats are well known for their deep, extended naps. When kittens sleep, they release growth hormones essential for their development, explaining why young kittens snooze more than adults. This behavior isn’t just about growth; it’s also a clever way to conserve energy.

Their hunting ancestors needed to be ready for bursts of activity, so deep sleep helped them recharge. Modern kitties retain this trait, allowing them to be alert and agile when awake. To ensure a feline enjoys perfect rest, create a cozy, quiet sleeping spot away from disturbances. This helps them maintain their natural rhythm and wake up ready for playful antics and mischief.
