Crazy Cat Facts!

So you may be entirely confused/bored by the topic of this post! But hey-this is my first go-around, so I am getting used to this "blogging" thing.  We wonder about different things every day-and I have decided to start finding some of the answers to my wondering questions! Throughout my life I have always been a "cat person". Not only do I prefer cats over any other animal and own a sweet little kitten, but I also have the personality that follows suit of a cat! I do not require great amounts of attention, and I like to be left alone for the most part! I do not like people touching me and close interaction with others. Perhaps the most apparent similarity is my LOVE for naps! :) So my question for this week is: How much to cats actually sleep?
While doing a little research I found out some interesting info! Mature healthy cats engage in deep sleep nearly 15% of their lives. They spend 50% in light sleep, leaving only 30 % awake time! This amounts to about 6-8 hours a day that they actually spend awake. This awake time is spent 30% grooming and the rest playing or eating! In my opinion, cats are the luckiest animals ever! Eating and sleeping all day- that is any college student's dream! The link is full of other amazing cat facts! http://www.xmission.com/~emailbox/trivia.htm
