Domestic cats are highly social animals that spend 12–16 hours daily sleeping or resting, often nestled together for warmth and security. This bonding behavior, called allogrooming and huddling, strengthens pack dynamics and is especially common among littermates or long-term companions. Their ability to enter deep sleep while remaining alert to danger makes rest central to their survival strategy in both wild and domestic settings.
