Nap Time
Posted on April 1, 2011 in Animals, Pet Photography
Napping…that’s what cats do best! On average they sleep about 16 hours a day…that’s twice as much sleep as humans. Or should I say twice as much sleep as humans SHOULD have! My cats are expert nappers! They just about open one eye when I come home from work and then it’s back to dreamland. They do perk up when they hear the cat food container opening or the jingle of one of their toys. My cat Sebastian is very very smart. If I come home from work earlier than usual, in his mind it means that he’s being taken to the Vet, so he generally hides under the bed the second I come in the door. Sebastian has had some recent visits to the doctor as he suffered an injury from jumping off the bathroom vanity. He gets car sick and so trips to the doctor are very unpleasant for him. I knew that we needed to make a return visit to the Vet so every day for 2 weeks I came home from work at lunch just so he would get used to the idea that my coming home early did not equal a Vet visit. Of course, the day I did have to take him back to the doctor ruined all of that confidence building that I did and now we’re back to square one. Please say a little prayer for my kitty Sebastian that he heals well from his injury. [The blog image is from the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club Cat Show held in Harrisburg, Pa. last weekend.]
