Yes, cats are known to sleep a lot. In fact, experts say that cats will sleep 13 to 16 hours a day. That is a lot of sleep. This sleep is good for them. However, in between these bouts of sleep, a cat needs activity. Some of this activity also must include some play time. Play time will help the cat’s physical and mental well being. This includes both inside and outside cats. In fact, play time will help detour indoor cats from developing behavioral problems.
What types of play time do cats enjoy? Most cats will love running after balls, and little pieces of crumbled up paper. They will also run after strings and bat at strings. However, one should never leave a cat alone with a string. A cat can strangle on these. A cat should also not be left alone with a ball small enough to swallow.
