How do cats sleep

It seems to us that cats fall asleep anywhere and anyhow. But that's not true. They always carefully choose a place to sleep and have a special ritual for falling asleep.

First, the cat marks time to make a comfortable depression, then stretches thoroughly and only then lies down. It is not surprising that after such preparation cats fall asleep well.

Cats sleep has two main modes. The first is drowsiness, when the muscles are not relaxed. The cat seems to be sitting on its stomach, with its paws tucked in, or curled up into a ball. If you touch her tail at this moment, she will instantly awaken. If the cat does not wake up within 10-30 minutes, then his sleep flows into the deep sleep phase. Now he is already lying on his side, and waking him up is much more difficult.

It is believed that cats even dream, just like people. And they almost never have sleep disorders. However, if your cat begins to sleep longer than usual, this may be a sign of illness or pregnancy.

On average, cats sleep 16 hours a day. Those. A 9-year-old cat slept for 6 years of his life. This is due to the fact that cats, due to their dexterity and dexterity, are able to quickly catch prey, eat it and calmly go to bed.
