Cats are both loving and fierce, and this makes themthe perfect petto keep in your house.

You don’t even have to take them outside like dogs require!

What’s not to love?

Two sleeping kittens

Cats have a ton of quirks.

One unique trait about cats is that they sleep.

Like, a lot.

A whole lot more than dogs.

In the interim, they store their energy by sleeping.

But why do they do this?

Apparently, this is because their typical prey, mice in this case, are active at these times.

This gives cats the opportunity to catch and eat them.

But just how much do these feline angels sleep?

Like humans, they constantly shift between REM and non-REM sleep while slumbering.

But when it comes to just how long they sleep, you may be shocked.

Because of this, cats don’t fit into a one size fits all description of when they sleep.

But the main constant factor is how much sleep they need and get.
