Content: Feral cats are said to be completely nocturnal, due to the fact that their pray (usually small mammals) and sources of food usually appear after dusk. Feral cats are more reliant on their pray to eat, which is why they have more nocturnal patterns than house cats, even if they are free-roaming [1]. They also adopt a nocturnal behavior to avoid humans too. When are cats most active? House cats are said to be the most crepuscular of all felines, as they have adapted the most from their hunting nature. Apart from this, domestic cats, as do others, will reserve their energies during the warmest hours of the day, i.e sunlight; and will also snuggle up during the cold nigh, especially in winter, to have a peak in activity during twilight, due to their instincts and because it tends to be the time that humans are around to play with. On average, cats will sleep 16 hours a day, and elderly cats can even sleep up to 20 hours. Ever wondered why your cat wakes you up in the morning right before your alarm is about to set off? Although there are many reasons, the fact that they are crepuscular also comes into play.
