Why do cats nap all the time?

Cats nap frequently due to their evolutionary traits as predators; they conserve energy for hunting and play. As crepuscular animals, they are naturally more active during dawn and dusk, leading to a need for more rest during the day. Additionally, their sleep patterns allow them to maintain alertness and agility for sudden bursts of activity. This behavior also helps them regulate their body temperature and recover from exertion.
