Cat Naps

I know the temperature is going to drop at night when Gigi moves from her princess pillow on the windowsill and settles down in the middle of our bed. When I gently pull her along with the blanket she's sleeping on down toward the end of the bed (so I can get into bed) she shows her annoyance by jumping up and leaving the room. Less than five minutes later though she's back. I feel the light pounce back up onto the bed and then I can hear and feel her movements as she scrubs herself clean before tuck-in. According to wiki, cats conserve energy by sleeping more than most animals, especially as they grow older. The daily duration of sleep varies, usually 12–16 hours, with 13–14 being the average. Some cats can sleep as much as 20 hours in a 24-hour period. The term cat nap refers to the cat's ability to fall asleep (lightly) for a brief period and has entered the English lexicon – someone who nods off for a few minutes is said to be "taking a cat nap".
