Ever feel like your senior cat’s new hobby is… napping? You’re not wrong—older cats can sleep up to 20 hours a day. But there’s purpose behind those marathon snoozes.
😴 Aging = Energy Shift
As metabolism slows and joints ache, rest becomes recovery time. Think of it as feline self-care.
🛏️ Comfort Is Queen
Swap the window sill for a warm, low bed or soft blanket near their favorite spot. Predictable warmth = deeper sleep.
🕰️ Routine Matters
Feeding and playtime on a set schedule help older cats feel secure—and that security turns into better sleep.
⚠️ Watch for Red Flags
If your cat suddenly sleeps more (or less), or paces at night, check for thyroid, joint, or cognitive issues.
Aging cats don’t slow down—they just master the art of peaceful living.
