Cats sleep on average 15 hours a day, and can sleep up to 20 hours in a 24-hour period. That’s a lot! Cats evolved to be efficient predators, and that means lots of sleep.
Cats have to get rid of old skin, whiskers, hair, and nails somehow. So they just fall off! It’s pretty cool to see a cat’s whisker super close up, so if you ever find one take a detailed look at it before tossing it out.
People who have owned cats are often welcomed home to a loud crying kitty rubbing up against their legs. Cats put on a show of not caring about their owners, but it’s just that: a show. They’re really just soft cuddle bugs.
Cats love cardboard boxes because they instinctually seek small, sheltered places to hide. It makes them feel comfortable and safe. And not even the tiniest box is safe from a cat, they’ll probably still try to fit themselves into the box.
My rule for interacting with cats is to let them choose what they want to be doing. Forcing a cat to do anything is a recipe for disaster and may land you with some scratch marks. Let your cat do it’s thing and you’ll be just fine.
