As much as cats enjoy sleeping, there is such a thing as too much sleep. Wild cats require a great amount of sleep in order to hunt for food and travel long distances. Domestic cats aren’t doing either of these things, so it’s up to the owner to create a stimulating environment. Otherwise, your cat could become bored which can lead to them sleeping more than they should. Besides lethargy, a cat that lacks enrichment may be aggressive in play, try to play at inappropriate hours of the day or night, destroy furniture, or become reclusive. An unenriched cat isn’t a happy one, but thankfully there are a plethora of interactive toys to catch your cat’s interest and keep them occupied and entertained.
