Hi there... cats sleep sleep more than usual so that they can have the ability to use reserved energy to hunt which is very exhaustive not just because they are nocturnal. Although domestic cats do not have to hunt today they are a close relative to the exotic cats.

Cats are nocternal so spend most of the day sleeping. Becouse of their fast metabolisms and the rate that they burn energy they need about 16 hours of sleep a day

Because they can - really! Cats are such efficient hunters that they only need to be awake and active a few hours (usually at night) in order to catch the prey they need to fill up.

They are nocturnal animals, so they sleep most of the day and are up most of the night!

They're naucturnal(sp?). They usually sleep all day and play at night. It's their instinct.

Cuz they are lazzy and sometimes eat to much. Eating to much can make you tired. Plus they are cats, what else do they have to do.
