www.barkandwhiskers.com/why-do-cats-sleep-so-much Story at-a-glance As both predator and prey, cats are designed by nature to require lots of sleep to build the energy stores necessary to live their best lives There are many reasons it may seem your cat sleeps a lot, including a penchant for short vs. long snoozes, a need to top off her energy reserves, the feline body clock, boredom, stress, or illness or injury Cats also adopt many different sleeping positions, such as curled up in a ball, on the back of the couch or atop the fridge, and even on their favorite human’s head If your cat’s sleeping patterns change drastically or you notice other signs of possible illness or injury (e.g., sleeping in the litterbox), it’s important to make an appointment with your veterinarian My notes: I know as ours have gotten older, they sleep more. What have you noticed?

Cats are either running, eating or sleeping, and once in a great while nuzzling with someone. I find them cute like that, but I can see it take a lot of sleep for them to run around so fast.

Cats on average sleep around 18 hours in a 24 hour period.
The one we have left is getting older but I haven't noticed any increase in how much she sleeps.

We notice as they get older, they sleep more too.

We notice as they get older, they sleep more too. They tend to slow down on their activities when they get older. So, they will definitely sleep a lot as they get older.

Yes, my cats are the same - they sleep a lot more as they age.

You need to change the biologic hour of a cat to sleep at night and wake on the morning otherwise he will not let you sleep because he will disturb and make noise and sleep during the journey where you go to work. It needs some kind of patience to do that.
