Sleeping Cats
16 Answers
How long do you let your cat sleep for before you start to worry?
I went to bed last night and my cat was asleep on the sofa. Got up this morning and he was still asleep...and still is. He hasn't even woke up for food.
Now...he gets in and out through my sons window so he could have been out half the night gallivanting, we wouldn't know, and my daughter comes in from work in the early hours so she might have fed him, but still, this much sleeping makes me worry sometimes.

Lol I have a youngish cat who basically sleeps 23 hours a day, she won't come out of my bedroom and the only time she seems to stir is when I get up and when I go to bed.
The chances are he has been out and has gone back to sleep - if you are really worried open a can of tuna and wave it under his nose, if he doesn't stir take him to the vets.

Oh gawd...I wish my cats would sleep 23 hours straight! The plump girlie isn't too bad...but deaf Caspar is a shouting machine. Sometimes he shoots down the stairs at constant 10-15 minute intervals...shouting at the top of his voice. Or, he'll lie on the floor...just out of sight..and make regular "purps" and little meows. He loves the sound of his voice...or would if he could hear it.
Several times over the years he's "disappeared" in my flat...and then I go into panic mode.

Gotta love them really.
Their sleeping patterns are strange. My boy has never woke me up for breakfast...but he's there during the week knowing what time OH gets up for work...waiting for his alarm to go off. He doesn't meow or come in the room...he just sits...waiting.
Weekends....we hear nothing from him. It's like he knows the days of the week.
