One thing is no secret; cats love to sleep and nap. In fact, the average cat can sleep for 12 to 16 hours per day. That's because cats are nocturnal creatures.

For information, kittens and older cats will spend more time sleeping than teenage cats. However, if you are concerned that your cat is sleeping too much, you can consult with your veterinarian.

Adult cats usually spend about half of their waking hours grooming because self-cleaning keeps them clean. Not only helps cats remove dirt from their furs, but grooming also prevents predators and prey from detecting them because cat licks remove odors they absorb.

In addition, it keeps their skin and coat healthy, relaxes them, helps them bond with other cats, and cools them down.
