Are Cats Nocturnal? Your Cat’s Overnight Activity, Explained
- Do you think of cats as nocturnal animals, asleep most of the day and awake at night?
- Lots of people do. There are plenty of cat memes about felines frolicking around at all hours of
- the night, to the dismay of their sleeping humans. But unlike possums, bats, and raccoons, cats
- are actually not technically nocturnal. Instead, “cats are crepuscular,” explains Michelle Lugones,
- DVM, a veterinarian at Best Friends Animal Society. “This means that they are wired to be most
- active at dusk and dawn”. So, they thrive at night-adjacent times, but they’re not hardwired to
- sleep during the day and be awake all night.
- Many people think that cats are nocturnal because most people who have a cat will attest
- to the fact that their cat wakes them up in the middle of the night regularly, but that overnight
- activity usually correlates to their crepuscular tendencies. Cats are so active at night because of
- cats’ evolutionary past as desert hunters. These are the times when the temperatures are the
- coolest in the desert, which makes it more tolerable to hunt. Also, hunting at dusk and dawn
- provides cats some cover because of the darkness, but gives them just enough light to hunt in
- (which their eyes are designed for).
- Even though they’re not actually nocturnal, cats certainly do a lot of snoozing during the
- day. But while they sleep 12 and 15 hours a day, they’re actually not lazy, or even very deep
- sleepers! Cats are always ‘on the alert’ — even in their sleep. This means that if there’s a loud
- sound, they may wake up and instantly be bright and alert. It’s a protective mechanism designed
- to keep wild animals safe from predators and able to catch prey if the opportunity arises.
