Cats are pets that sleep for a long time, and their lazy sleeping posture is one of the reasons why people love them. Parents who raise cats should not ignore some knowledge about cats’ sleep. You must know that poor sleep of cats will also affect their health. Let me explain to you some things about cats sleeping.

Cat Nest

Even if your cat spends most of the night snuggling up to you, she needs her own place to sleep. Your cat may rather nap on your bed or on a cushion or chair than sleep in the nest. However, in the future, when the cat becomes sick or feels unsafe, the cat's bed will be an important place to retreat and satisfy its deepest needs. There are many kinds of cat nests on the market now, and you can choose one according to your cat’s preferences. Of course, you can also make a warm nest for your cat yourself and lay it out with towels or mats. The most important thing is comfort, softness and security.

Where cats sleep

Cats have a peculiar habit of finding the warmest place in the house and curling up to take a nap. If your home has a central air heater, your cat will most likely choose to sleep close to the boiler. The cat's nest should be placed in a dry, secluded and unobtrusive part of the room. It is best for the cat's nest to be exposed to sunlight and should not be placed in a cold and humid place. In addition, the cat's nest should be elevated above the ground, so that it can be kept dry and clean, as well as well ventilated and cool. When the weather is cold, you can add a heating pad (such as an electric blanket) to the cat's nest to keep the cat warm. However, the heating pad must be placed on one side of the nest, not in the middle, so that there are both warm and cold areas in the nest so that the cat can choose the temperature it likes.

Time for cats to sleep

Cats are instinctively nocturnal animals, but the work and rest habits of kittens raised at home can be cultivated. You need to slowly get him used to the new routine. This takes a while. When you start a bedtime regime, don't play with the cat, put the cat in its bed, turn off the lights, and close the door to the room where the cat is placed. Don’t forget to place the cat litter box and water bowl where your cat can reach them. The kitten may not like this forced separation at first, but after one to two weeks, the kitten will fall asleep quietly every night.
