Cats have evolved as the "predatory hunting animal" equipped with great agility and keen senses. From almost the very start - a kitten of all species of cat shows instinctive behavior typical of hunters. Just like house cats, lions spend a huge amount of time every day licking themselves clean. It’s not just because they’re fastidious; they’re working to remove as much of their scent as possible.Yours isn’t the only cat that lounges around from morning to night. Domestic cats usually sleep between 16 and 20 hours a day; lions average right around 20 hours daily. And just like house cats, lions prefer sleeping during the day, becoming much more active right around the time people head to bed.
Your cat is crouched down, focused intently on something across the room you can’t see, but it’s not until that distinctive butt-wiggle happens that you KNOW it’s going to pounce.
