How many hours per day?


How many hours per day does you cat sleep? and if you have more than one cat does it vary from cat to cat?

Re: How many hours per day?


I would estimate Cleo now sleeps about 21/22 hours out of 24 per day.

The remaining hour or so will be spent washing herself, eating, being stroked, using the litter tray, or staring into space .

The remaining hour or so will be spent wandering around or pottering outside. But these are now split into pockets or 15 - 20 minutes throughout the day to make me believe she is up and about more I am sure.

It's a feature of aging I think

Re: How many hours per day?


About 18 hours a day on average I think. Some of their time is spent lazing so they could be asleep or just laying down and watching the world go by or having intermittent dozes! Their active times seem to be at different times (although they often have a mad half hour chasing each other) but they seem to spend about the same amount sleeping.

At night, they always sleep together. During the day they normally sleep apart (but always in the same room or they get upset - ahh!)

@ Mags and Cassie

My lot are variable. The boys, Claude and Clooney hardly sleep at all in the day but sleep during the night whilst we are asleep.

Fifi, about 23.5 hours!!

Balie, a little less - maybe about 18-20.

Darcy's the most active I guess he probably sleeps about 12/14

I have no idea as Moli now spends 100% of her time outdoors (she refuses to come in but it has been lovely weather here over the past few days)

Re: How many hours per day?


My older cat Heff sleeps about 18 hours a day.

My youngest is about 14 months and she sleeps and sleeps and sleeps too yet I have a crazy black cat who is not much older than her but he is always on the go!
