Cats Will Sleep All Day To Save Energy

When kittens sleep, they release growth hormones that are important for their development. This means that young cats sleep a lot, even more than adults, so don’t let it be a cause for concern! That being said, adult cats are known to doze off from time to time.

Cats do this to save energy, a trait left over from when they had to expend lots of energy hunting for their next meal in the wild. They will also fall asleep easily if they’re bored and there is nothing for them to do. So, if you’d like your kitty to be awake more, try playing with it!
