Sleeping


graphic by Ali Noel Vyain

From what I understand is cats sleep longer per day than humans do. There is some variance. Some humans claim they only need to sleep four hours a day. I hope you’re right about that. I know my girl tends to do well on about seven to eight hours a day.

We cats tend to sleep for at least 16 hours a day. Humans just can’t come close unless they are suffering from concussions or post-concussions. I’m not sure it’s good for you humans to get that much sleep unless you really need it for health reasons.

And you know what we cats do while we sleep? We dream. Vividly. Some humans have proven it. We actively dream while we sleep. We don’t always sleep for 16 hours straight. We take naps throughout the day.

What did you expect? We have to eat and use the litter box too. We also need to exercise and get some love from others we love. So, you may think we’re not doing much of anything all day long, but you’re wrong. We’re dreaming our lives away.

You can’t even come close to us in our dreaming lives. You’re just not asleep enough every day to do that.
