Although BRADK already said it -- take it from someone who lives with four small cat varieties (non-lion size though they eat like them) -- most of the time they are asleep ... except for when YOU want to sleep ... then they are ready for playing or petting or purring.
Right now ... floor beside computer -- Peanut Butter asleep ... futon behind me -- Jelly Bean asleep ... couch in living room -- Maddie asleep. Snowflake is the only one that goes outside but he is on the stoop ... asleep.
Same goes for the lions ...... but they are sooo darn cute too!!!!
Good question though!!! Now just don't ask if the termite hills are real -- or the ostrich eggs.
So totally true. I have four house cats as well and three of them were walking around when I got up this morning. Now all four are somewhere sleeping. They will get up and be active in the hour my husband gets home from work and then disappear again. Then they will come out for about an hour when we are eating and then for another hour right before we go to bed. Fortunately, they all do sleep for the entire time we do.
I'd go with more like 20 hours a day of sleep rather than 18.
