Multi stage sleep: Cats have a different sleep pattern from humans, as they do not sleep for several hours at once, but instead divide their sleep into multiple stages. Cats may engage in multiple brief naps throughout the day, each lasting typically 15 to 30 minutes.
Active and resting alternation: Cats usually take multiple naps during the day and are more active at night. This is because cats are nocturnal animals, and their natural habits make them most active at dusk and dawn.
Looking for a comfortable environment: Cats like to choose quiet, comfortable, and warm places to rest. They may choose places with plenty of sunlight, such as window edges or balconies, or they may choose soft sofas or beds.
Diverse sleeping postures: Cats have a variety of sleeping postures, including lateral, supine, curled up, liquid, etc. These poses not only showcase the cat's personality and comfort, but also reflect their level of trust in the surrounding environment.
Rapid Eye Movement Sleep (REM): Like humans, cats also have a stage of REM sleep. This is the time for cats to dream, and it is also an important stage for their brain to process information and consolidate memory.
Sensitive to the environment: Cats have high requirements for their sleep environment, and any small noise or light changes can affect their sleep quality. Therefore, in order to provide a good sleeping environment for cats, owners need to keep the room quiet and warm, and try to avoid disturbing them while they are resting.
Overall, the sleep habits of cats are a reflection of their innate habits and lifestyle. Owners need to understand and respect the sleeping habits of cats, providing them with a quiet, comfortable, and warm resting environment.
