Owners of cats and cats often note that their pets sleep too much. They find it strange, they think their pet is sick, but the fact that cats sleep most of the day is not strange at all. Wondering why cats love to sleep?
Indeed, cats sleep almost two-thirds of the day, and only the remaining third are awake. Most often, they fall asleep after certain muscle exercises, which is quite reasonable. After eating, especially plentiful food, cats also often fall asleep, like most other animals. So if you want to take a picture of your pet, this is the most convenient time, because after a hearty meal, she wants to relax as soon as possible. Felines also compensate for an increase in their own body temperature with sleep.
Sleep is very important for the functioning and repair of the tissues of the animal's body, especially its nervous system. If the cat does not get enough sleep, it becomes irritable and can even become seriously ill. This is the main reason why cats love to sleep.
Cats are awake in the dark, and they love to sleep during the day. People, as a rule, sleep at night, and stay awake during the day, and therefore often note the behavior of their pets that is strange in their opinion. It's all about the mismatch of sleep patterns.
Pets and cats in particular during sleep sometimes jerk their paws, as if they are running after a non-existent mouse. This is sometimes the result of an injury from a fall from a roof or a blow to the head, but more often than not, this is normal. After all, cats also dream, like humans. Perhaps your pet, jerking its legs in a dream, really dreams of an appetizing, juicy mouse. Don't panic about this.
