Cats usually sleep between 13 and 16 hours a day. What is the reason they need so much rest? Expert Abigail Tucker, author of "The Lion in the Living Room" has an extremely interesting explanation.
1.
According to the expert, although the time dedicated to sleep differs from one cat to another, depending on age and personality, cats usually sleep between 13 and 16 hours a day. Only bats and opossums sleep more, almost 20 hours a day.
2.
"Everything has to do with the instinct of a predator. If, for example, herbivores graze for hours until they fill their stomachs with enough food, in the case of cats, hunting gives them a very short time to attack and devour their victim. This behavior has also been passed on to domestic cats, so they can spend most of the day sleeping, like lions, ”explained Abigail Tucker.
3.
Another characteristic of cats is that they are twilight animals, being more active at sunset and at dawn. During the day, they rest and at night they become active.
4.
"On the other hand, many cats, especially apartment cats, sleep rather out of boredom, having nothing to stimulate them, such as those raised in the yard," she added.
5.
Studies show that cats sleep has two phases: REM (Rapid eye movement) - characterized by rapid eye movement, when dreams occur, and non-REM sleep (NREM) or deep sleep.
6.
During NREM sleep, the cat's body recovers. Bones grow, muscles develop. The immune system strengthens. 60% of a cat's sleep is REM sleep, three times less than in humans.
7.
According to the expert, when sleeping, the cat must have its own bed. "Cats need their space, where they can sleep better. If you make a special cage for him, even a box, the cat will be much happier than if you keep him in bed ", the expert added.

Scottish Fold is a rare breed of domestic cat with a genetic mutation that affects their cartilage and gives their ears a folded / bent appearance. This cat is a controversial topic for some people, because the mutation that makes it adorable, makes it even more susceptible to certain joint diseases. This breed of cat is popular not only because of its physical features, but also because of their loving and gentle character.
1.
Scottish Fold first appeared in 1961 in a barn in Perthshire, Scotland. At birth, the cat had bent / folded ears, and after having puppies, two of them had the same characteristic as their mother. A nursing program began in 1966 that resulted in 76 kittens, 42 had folded ears, and 34 had straight ears. Scottish fold puppies will be born with straight ears, and in about 21 days they will bend.
2.
Scottish Fold cats, whether with folded ears or straight ears, are benevolent, playful and get along well with humans and animals in the environment in which they live. There are affectionate cats that attach to caregivers, they become depressed when left alone. This breed of cat is intelligent, but also stubborn. He prefers to be outdoors.
3.
Scottish Fold cat fur can be long or short and can have almost any color combination (including white). Short-haired cats have thick, soft fur, and long-haired cats have extremely dense fur around their ears, tails, cheekbones and fingers.
4.
During spring and autumn they lose a lot of hair. It is good to brush them several times a week, to check the teeth and ears, which can get dirty more than other cats and can result in infections. It is recommended to be careful with their diet because some can gain weight if they do not have a balanced diet.
5.
Scottish Fold cats should be fed a combination of dry food and wet food. A diet with premium or super premium food can have a positive impact on your cat's health and well-being. We need to feed them a complete and balanced meal, served in an established schedule so that they do not gain weight.
