It is indeed interesting to get to know more about cats' behaviours as well as it's habits. The next topic which I would like to share about this lovable and cute CAT is.............
Cats Sleep
Cats normally spend almost two-thirds of each day sleeping. They also differentiate between five different kinds ranging from a light, sensory drift or "floating", through light sleep to three degrees of deep sleep. The first is the phenomenon of cat napping, which is so well recognised that the term describes that form of human sleep.
The length of the daily sleep is variable and seems conditioned by a well-satisfied appetite, sexual stimuli, age and the seasons. Young and old cats sleep more than a healthy adult cat. The combination of warmth, security and a full stomach can provoke drowsiness at every hour of the day for a cat of any age.
For cats that stay at home, the ideal place to sleep, is at an armchair, bed or owner's clothing in a laundry basket or on a window sill. Stray cats are happy to nestle in an abandoned box.
The cat makes numerous movements with its paws and whiskers while sleeping, which give the impression that it is dreaming. Feline insomnia is unknown. The usual useless experiments have shown that when prohibited to sleep for a week, a cat dies.
Because cat prefer the hours of twilight and darkness for many of their activities, the hours when they wish to sleep often do not coincide with our own.
