Sleep Habits of Dogs and Cats

There seems to be varying information on how long dogs and cats sleep in a day.  It really depends on the breed, the age and what's going on around the pet at the moment.  If it's busy and there is activity, then more than likely, your pet will be awake and participating.  If  nobody is home and you have an older cat or dog then more than likely he or she will be asleep as long as it's quiet in the home and area.

For a cat however, they tend to sleep about 10 to 16 hours a day.  This is a very average amount.  Do not get anxious if it's longer and at times shorter.  Although they sleep longer than humans, they tend to awaken more.  This goes for dogs too.   Cats will sleep where they feel safe and secure.  Sometimes that will be away from the family or in an enclosed bed that they feel safe inside of and warm of course.

Dogs will sleep on their designated dog bed, if trained to do so.  There are all types of dog and cat beds available in pet store, department stores and even some grocery stores will carry dog or cat beds.  Of course it's always more efficient to shop online.  You won't be paying for those expensive gas prices by going to all different stores to find the best one for you and your pet.  You can shop from the coziness of your home and have it delivered right to your door in a few days.
