Cats sleep twice as much as humans; on average, 14 to 20 hours in a 24-hour period. Its totally normal for your pet to take catnaps all during the day, combined with bursts of activity. Cats are hunters, after all. And they get exhausted from bolting up from what looks like a deep snooze and running like a bullet down the stairs for no apparent reason. Eating meat can also make them sleepy.

New cat owners sometimes worry that their cat is lethargic. But sleeping these long hours is just part of a cats life. However, dont let your cat get bored. Its always good to keep toys around to stimulate them and keep them from clawing at your furniture. Play with your kitty every day to keep him active and engaged.

If you notice a change in your cats sleeping habits if he is napping more or a lot less you might want to check in with your vet. It could be a sign of a health problem.
