Pet Facts 101: Sleeping Habits of Cats

by Kiara on May 24, 2013


Every cat spends most of their day sleeping. In fact, cats can sleep up to 18 hours a day! A cat’s sleeping cycle is directionally proportional to the amount of energy being used. While a large amount of energy is used to hunt and prey, they use most of that energy to stalk, pounce and wrestle their play toys. At My Pet Savings, we’ve uncovered some facts about a cat’s sleeping cycle. Read on to find out more!

A cat’s sleep cycle can be broken up into three parts. First, there’s the “catnap”, a light snooze during the day that lasts around 30 minutes. Then there’s the night sleep, which can be determined by their eating habits. For instance, fatter cats sleep more soundly than skinny cats, and older cats sleep longer than younger cats. Finally, the third cycle is deep sleep. In this sleep cycle the cat’s body is totally relaxed, with his body curled up or lying flat.  While in this cycle, cats go through Rapid Eye Movement (REM), which is an indicator that cats dream, although we aren’t too sure what the subject matter is about, maybe some delicious tuna treats?!

Many cats are active during the mornings and at sundown, which can sometimes be bothersome for their owners, but eventually cats adapt to their owners sleep schedule to sleep more when they’re alone and be awake when their owner is at home. Always make sure your cat has a safe haven where they can sleep that includes a comfy bed such as the selection at PetSmart.com!

Introducing your new baby to your pet is a wonderful way to establish a bond between them, but to your pet it can be a difficult idea for them to get used to, especially if they were your “first” baby. At MyPetSavings, we are here to help you with some tips you can use to make the transition smooth for both you and your pet!

  • Sprinkle baby powder, oil, or other baby products that you will be using on your body to prepare your pet for new smells they will encounter.
  • Encourage friends with babies and infants to visit often to accustom your pet to babies and smaller children.
  • Train your pet to sit next to you or calmly beside your feet to prepare when you are holding the baby. Praise your pet with lots of treats to reward them for their good behavior.

If you’re still worried that your dog may be aggressive or fearful of your newborn, take them to obedience or training classes to calm them down and get used to the idea of a baby in your house. Once they get used to the new baby, you can watch their relationship blossom and become the best of friends for years to come.
