The way cats sleep shows that they don't trust you.

In fact, many people know that cats also like to sleep late. Like humans, there will be a distinction between deep sleep and shallow sleep. Most of the time, they will alternate between deep sleep and shallow sleep, and their vigilance is very high. But what we need to know is that cats' habits are different from ours. They like to start activities after dusk. For them, dusk is the beginning of the day.

According to different cat breeds, their age and personality, as well as the overall physical condition, their sleep habits will also have some subtle differences. But no matter what personality cats are, they all like to sleep, and they will stay in bed for a while in some weather that they think is suitable for sleeping. For example, when it's raining and freezing, the cat yawns all the time and can't keep its eyes open. Of course, humans will be so tired in this weather.

In fact, every animal has its own fixed sleep time. For example, cows, horses and elephants sleep about 3 hours a day, chimpanzees sleep about 9 hours, wolves sleep about 13 hours, lions sleep about 10 ~ 15 hours, and cats sleep about 14 hours. However, this is the sleeping time of cats living in the wild. If they are domestic cats, they sleep more.

If you pay attention to sleeping cats, you will find that cats are awakened by the slightest sound when they sleep. This is because cats' sleep is divided into light sleep and deep sleep. Cats spend most of their time in a light sleep state, apparently asleep, but still remain on high alert. Cats don't get enough rest during light sleep, which is equivalent to a nap. Cats are in a deep sleep only when they are really relaxed. Cats who sleep deeply generally adopt very comfortable postures, such as twisted supine, while cats tend to lie prone when they sleep lightly. Cats take turns sleeping from shallow sleep to deep sleep and then to shallow sleep. The shallow sleep takes a long time, so there is not much time to really rest and relax, and the time to really sleep and rest every day is only 5 or 6 hours.

Cats' eyesight will become very sharp at night, but it is very hazy during the day. When humans sleep, that is, at night, these cats will do their best to make trouble at home. However, when the morning comes and the sun rises, all cats become lazy and even start to sleep.

In fact, for cats, rest is to save energy. Like many big cats that prey at night, they chase and hunt at night. So, during the day, that is, their rest time, how can they choose a warm and comfortable place to sleep, get up and work until nightfall? Although domestic cats have been tamed a lot by human beings, their primitive instinct can't be suppressed, just as their schedule and hunting skills are innate. Cats are quiet and like to crawl. When they play at home, they will show a hunting posture. Hunting is quite exhausting, so they really need to sleep to recharge their batteries.

In fact, we can regard the sleeping state of cats as the language of cats. If the cat sleeps in a relaxed state at home, it means that the home has brought it enough security. If the cat has been in a defensive state for a nap, it shows that it doesn't trust the living environment enough. The owner should consider preparing a safe corner for the cat to have enough space to rest. So it's normal for cats to sleep.
