CATDOLL : Is it normal for cats to sleep all the time?

It is normal for cats to sleep all the time. Cats are nocturnal animals, so they usually move around at night. At night, cats consume a lot of energy, so they will choose to sleep during the day to replenish their energy. This is normal as long as there are no other abnormal conditions. Studies have shown that cats in the wild sleep for about fourteen hours, and domestic cats generally sleep longer than in the wild, sixteen to eighteen hours. Cats' sleep is divided into deep sleep and shallow sleep. Sometimes cats look like they are asleep, but they are actually taking a nap. In shallow sleep, the brain remains highly alert. However, if a cat is sleepy and has other symptoms, such as lack of energy, drooling, runny nose, abdominal pain, etc., it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.

How to create a warm and comfortable nest for your cat:

1. Put a soft blanket in the cat bed to enhance the warmth retention ability of the cat bed.

2. Lay a carpet in a sunny location at home so that the cat can bask in the warm sun, and try to minimize the time the cat spends outside.

3. If the cat's bed has windows on all four sides, you can close some of the windows to reduce the amount of cold air that enters.

4. Prepare a small sun for the cat to keep warm, or you can turn on the heater to adjust the temperature of the whole house.
