Wednesday Meowsday

Hey Cat Fact readers, we bet today's fact is sure to make you sleepy, like Viv and all her Cat friends! Hope you learn something new about kitty-cats!  

CAT FACT: House cats typically sleep for about 12-16 hours a day. Wow!

- Cats are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. 

- Cats have a unique sleep-wake cycle. It's known as "polyphasic sleep". That means they take lots of short naps all around the clock instead of one big long sleep.

- Cats' sleep also has two kinds of sleep like us! They have rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep, just like humans! REM sleep is when most dreaming occurs. This means that maybe cats do dream during their sleep! Just like we all thought! Meow!

Don't forget to send in your cat facts! We'll feature them all on CatFacts.ca !
