Let Sleeping Cats Lie
I often look at my cat Tikka and think ‘Wow! You really know how to relax!’. Throughout the day he can be found in any of his favourite sleeping corners in such a peaceful state of repose I can’t help but feel ever so slightly jealous. The look of complete and utter bliss on his face is soothing in itself to behold. However there have been times when I’ve worried that he sleeps too much and is perhaps bored.
It can happen that a cat that has no activity to occupy him such as a house cat that is left on its own for long periods may start to sleep purely to escape the monotony of the day. However if your cat is active in the late evening and early hours of the morning then you simply have a healthy normal cat. Cats instinctively become active at night. In the wild this is when they would hunt. They are lone hunters and hunting activity with all it concentration and required agility tires them out. Therefore quite rightly they catch up on their energy reserves in the day. You can train your cat to sleep at night and be active in the day but then its down to you to occupy him. As most of work in the day the fact that you have a nocturnal friend isn’t such a bad thing. At least he’s alert and awake in the evening…however it can still be a little grating when he decides to jump on your pillow at 3am in the morning!
