These are some of the most common questions on our website, and they’re always ones that people have. Pets that spend 70 of their lives sleeping, is one of the most common questions that I get asked. They are usually the first to wake up and often the last to fall asleep. It’s very common for those that have pets with sleeping issues to call me. I think they always want to know what to say, what to do, and how to get them to stop.
The most common question I get is, “what should I do if my pet has a sleep schedule?” While I do believe that pets should be in their own beds with their own sleeping schedule, the vast majority of people have no idea. My recommendation is to have a sleep trainer come to your home and have them explain to you what to do if your pet starts to get a problem sleeping.
I have a pet that has a sleep problem, and that’s the sleep trainer. It’s a dog named Tox. Tox is a Chihuahua mix, and she has been a problem for about ten years. She’s been an extreme couch potato for the past five years, and she’s been sleeping in her crate most of the time. She’s been waking up every once in a while and crying because she misses her bed.
I had a client ask me if she could have her dog Tox sleep in her house. I explained to her that Tox has a sleep problem, and has tried to sleep in her house for years. Her response was to go ahead and sleep with her dog in her bed, but this would not be good for Tox, because she has a hard time falling asleep when in her crate. If I could just get her to stop sleeping in her crate, she would probably be fine.
So there we have it. Dogs are a good test case for testing the “sleep-ins” that are now common in our houses. I have seen people who have dogs sleep in their beds and people who don’t, and it seems to be a pretty universal phenomenon. Of course, the key word here is “universal.” I have seen a lot of dogs sleep in their beds, but not lots of people who don’t.
But that’s not all. Pets are also known to sleep on their bed, and even in a cage like this. But pet cats are just as likely to sleep on a couch couch, a chair, in a crate, or on the floor. That’s just how I roll.
In most cases, cats only sleep for five hours a day, and then they are expected to eat more meat than anyone else for the rest of their lives. In fact, cats have been known to sleep for 30 days straight at the beginning of their lives and never wake up. The fact that they keep getting this weird weird sleep cycle is just weird.
To be fair, you do have to be a cat with a specific sleep cycle to actually be able to sleep for 70 hours straight. Other animals like dogs, horses, and birds, sleep for a much shorter time, and their owners actually care more about making sure they’re getting enough.
The cat lady who was in my office today is a fan of cats and cat lovers, though I think pets who spend so much time sleeping need to be on a strict diet. In fact, they should be on a strict diet with the only foods they are allowed to eat being the ones that cats are used to, which are mostly their favorite food.
It’s true that cats are used to having a much shorter sleep period, but this isn’t the case for everyone. Some cat owners are very devoted to their pets’ needs and the amount of time they spend sleeping. If you’ve got a cat, make sure it’s a cat that you like the look of, otherwise they’ll look like they’re trying too hard to get to sleep.
