I hear our humans talk about Maggie and myself . They say we sleep a lot. I admit that I do like to nap in the morning, day and night but it's a cat nap! Maggie is out like a light must of the time (she snores), but girl cats need their beauty sleep. Plus Jill has us posting to Face book, drawing/being creative and responding to our Maggie and Sam fans, so we need some down time ! Here is some interesting facts on other animals and how much sleep they get. I found this information on Education World At Home's main page. Scientists are still researching sleep on different species and they don't understand everything, but they have measured how much sleep some different animals get.
Bullfrog = 0 hrs! That's right, no shut eye for the frog! Horse = 2.9 hrs. Cow = 4.0 hrs. Rabbit = 8.7 hrs. Baboon = 9.4 hrs. Dog = 10.7 hours No Comment Pigeon = 11.9 hours. Cat = 13.2 hours. Still less than the Ground squirrel, Brown Bat and Hairy armadillo! Ground squirrel = 14.5 hours. Brown bat = 19.9 hours. Hairy armadillo = 20.4 hours (The above picture is of a Hairy Armadillo)!
Don't forget to Hug your animals!
Sammy and Maggie
