Taking enough sleep can help us function better. It relaxes our mind and prepares it for bigger and much complex tasks. It’s good for a normal adult human to take a 7 to 9 hour sleep. As for kids, they need more hours of sleep than adults. They should sleep for a good 12 hours at least. Just like us, our beloved pets also need a good night sleep for proper functioning. Dogs sleep up to 14 hours and cats sleep for a good 16 hours. We have often found our four-legged felines napping through the day in bits and pieces. This is not because they’re lazy as some of them have actual jobs. Rather, it’s just to reboot themselves so they can get up and move again.

It is not unusual for cat owners to stumble on a box and find their cats sleeping inside. Or, turning on a lamp and discovering the cat sleeping in its lampshade. To be honest, it is quite amusing to find your cat sleeping in an unusual place with a weird posture. We surfed the internet and gathered 40 photos of cats who slept in bizarre settings that will totally crack you up.

Scroll down and take a look.

We all wonder why cats sleep the way they do. I mean, how can one sleep all curled up in a circle? To answer that, we might wanna go back in time a little bit. You see, way before cats were domesticated they were out in the wild. They used to hunt for food, stalk their prey and live in wild settings. They had to survive all sorts of weather conditions and had to live in constant fear of being attacked by other wild animals. When cats curl up for sleep, they are actually protecting their delicate organs in case they’re attacked while sleeping.

Napping frequently is in cat’s genes. Cats are most active from the sunset to the sunrise. They take power naps that help them regain their energy during the day time so that they can be fully active and alert during the night and look for prey to hunt. Now, that the cats are domesticated and live with humans, they do not have to hunt for food anymore. But they still nap and reenergize because they’re genes tell them to. They are programmed that way. There is always room for uncertainty and they might have to hunt for food, so the cats come prepared.

Seems like they broke in and collapsed.

Cats have similar sleep stages as humans. Although they fall asleep a lot quicker, they do experience the REM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement. In this type of sleep, one’s eyeballs are moving while they’re fast asleep. In this phase, our muscle tone is low and we tend to dream more vividly. Cats also experience REM sleep and they dream as well. You can tell a cat’s in REM when its paws, whiskers and tail are twitching during sleep.

That’s a potted kitty!
