🤗🤗Cats are really, really good at sleeping. They sleep more than most mammals and twice as much as humans, typically sleeping about 15 hours every day.

🤗🤗猫咪简直堪称睡王，日均睡觉时间高达15小时，比大多数哺乳动物长，是人类睡觉时间的两倍之多。

🤗🤗"Cats reside in the boundary between night and day — between waking and sleep. In fact, cats challenge the commonly held notion that it's impossible to be simultaneously asleep and awake," Naiman says. "Not only are they able to sleep while sitting up, their sense of smell and hearing can remain active during most of their sleep."

🤗🤗“猫是生活在夜晚和白天之间的动物，始终在清醒和沉睡之间交替。事实上，猫能够在睡觉时保持清醒，这挑战了人们普遍认为不可能的观念。”“它们不仅可以坐着睡觉，且嗅觉和听觉在大部分睡眠时间都能保持活跃状态。”

🤗🤗So your cat may be dreaming while sitting up, half awake. That's talent.

🤗🤗因此，你的主子很可能会坐着做梦，半睡半醒。这就是喵星人的特长。

Do cats have nightmares?

猫会做噩梦吗？

🤗🤗You may see your cat sleeping peacefully and then he suddenly twitches uncontrollably with paws zipping about in what looks like general discomfort. There's a chance he's having a nightmare, or just reliving a negative event from the day. There's also a good chance it's just the typical muscle twitching that goes along with REM.

🤗🤗你的猫咪可能上一秒还在老老实实地睡觉，但下一秒就会突然抽动四肢，看上去好像不太舒服。它很可能是做噩梦了，或是梦见了白天某些可怕的经历。不过这也可能只是快速眼动期间的肌肉痉挛。

🤗🤗Even if you feel like your cat is having a bad dream, it's probably not a great idea to wake him up. He may be so startled that he could wake up with claws and teeth flying. It's better to let a sleeping cat lie.

🤗🤗即使你觉得自己的猫咪正在做噩梦，也不要把它弄醒。如果你把它弄醒，它很有可能处于惊吓状态，小心被抓伤哦。所以，还是不要惊扰一只熟睡的猫咪比较好。

Simultaneously asleep and awake

在睡觉时保持清醒

🤗🤗If it seems like your cat is always a second away from a catnap, that's because she is.

🤗🤗你是否觉得自己的猫咪总是一副快要睡着却总也睡不着的样子？不要怀疑，猫咪就是这样。
