Cats always sleep may be due to their nature. Cats will remain in a relaxed state when they are not in danger and sleep for a long time, which can generally reach 16 hours or more. In addition, if the ambient temperature is too low or the cat is sick, it will also cause them to sleep longer. However, if the cat suddenly becomes very sleepy and is accompanied by symptoms such as depression, loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, etc., then it may be sick, and the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

1. Nature

If the cat is in good mental condition and eats, drinks and defecates normally, then sleeping every day is probably due to the cat’s nature. When cats are not in danger, they will remain relaxed and sleep for a long time, which can generally reach 16 hours or more. Cats are nocturnal animals and generally like to sleep during the day and only move around and eat at night after their owners have rested. . Therefore, cats basically sleep the rest of the time except playing, eating or drinking.

This is the nature of cats, and owners do not need to worry too much. As long as your cat is healthy and in a normal mental state, there is no need to worry about it sleeping too much.

2. The weather is cold

If the surrounding temperature is too low, cats will reduce their exercise in order to preserve their physical strength. Therefore, in the cold winter, cats will prefer to sleep to keep warm. . This is also a normal phenomenon. Owners do not need to worry too much. They can provide a warm and comfortable environment for the cat, such as preparing a warm nest for the cat or wearing clothes for the cat, etc., to help it maintain its body temperature and health.

3. Sick

If the cat suddenly becomes very sleepy and is accompanied by depression, loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., it is very possible. Illness, such as cold, cat-borne infection, feline distemper, etc. may cause these symptoms. If this happens, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time to rule out the possibility of disease and take appropriate measures for treatment.

Note: Once an abnormality is discovered in a cat, it must be dealt with promptly to avoid further deterioration of the condition and greater harm to the cat.
