The sofa, the bed, a sunny window, a freshly folded blanket\u2026 any spot seems perfect for a cat\u2019s nap. And the fact is, sleeping isn\u2019t just one of their favourite pastimes: it\u2019s an essential part of their nature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But\u2026 is it normal for a cat to sleep so much? Do they dream? Why do they sometimes tremble or meow whilst resting? And when should we be concerned? We\u2019ll tell you everything you need to know about the fascinating world of cat sleep.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>How many hours does a cat sleep?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adult cats usually sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day, although some can reach up to 20 hours, especially kittens and older cats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Newborns practically live in a dream world during their first few weeks of life: they eat, sleep\u2026 and sleep again. This rest is essential for their growth and development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s also common for older cats to sleep more, as their activity levels decrease with age.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why do cats sleep so much?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although they sometimes seem like true experts at resting, cats do not sleep out of laziness. Their need for sleep is linked to their hunting instinct.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cats are predators designed to expend a great deal of energy at specific moments: stalking, pouncing, chasing and capturing. After these bursts of activity, they need to recover their strength.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even domestic cats retain this \u2018internal programme\u2019 inherited from their wild ancestors. Although they don\u2019t have to go out and hunt mice for dinner, their bodies still function like those of small hunters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sleeping is, basically, their way of recharging their batteries.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">When are they most active?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cats are crepuscular animals. This means they tend to be most active at dawn and dusk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s why many cats spend much of the day dozing, and just when their humans want to go to bed\u2026 the night-time dashes down the hallway, the impossible leaps and the mysterious expeditions at three in the morning begin.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do all cats sleep the same way?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not exactly. There are many factors that influence feline sleep:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Age<\/li>\n<li>Activity level<\/li>\n<li>Ambient temperature<\/li>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n<li>Environment<\/li>\n<li>The cat\u2019s personality<\/li>\n<li>Breed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A cat living in a calm, warm and safe environment will sleep better than one that feels stressed or lacks a comfortable place to rest.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cameliasvet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CAMELIAS-blogmayo-1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;CAMELIAS &#8211; blogmayo 1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cameliasvet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CAMELIAS-blog-junio-2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;CAMELIAS &#8211; blog junio 2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cameliasvet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CAMELIAS-blog-junio-3.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;CAMELIAS &#8211; blog junio 3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cameliasvet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CAMELIAS-blog-junio-4.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;CAMELIAS &#8211; blog junio 4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Do cats dream?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, all the evidence suggests that cats do dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just like humans, they go through different stages of sleep, including the REM stage, which is when the most vivid dreams occur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During this phase, it is normal to observe small involuntary movements:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Twitching of the legs<\/li>\n<li>Movement of the whiskers<\/li>\n<li>Gentle tremors<\/li>\n<li>Meowing or small sounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is as if their brain is \u2018reliving\u2019 experiences from the day.
