Senior cats often experience changes in their sleep patterns, typically sleeping more than younger cats. They may have more fragmented sleep, waking up more frequently during the night, and might be more restless or vocal. This increase in sleep and changes in behavior can be due to various factors, including discomfort from arthritis, cognitive dysfunction, or other age-related health issues. Providing a comfortable, quiet sleeping area and maintaining a consistent routine can help support better sleep patterns for senior cats. Regular veterinary check-ups can also identify and address underlying health concerns affecting sleep.
