Is It True?

Our vet told us

"If you have a cat that is 10 years old, it's only been awake for 3 years of it's life, the rest of the time it was sleeping, or napping."

When he told us that, I said "No Way! Our cats do sleep a lot, but they're awake more than they are sleeping" They seriously are awake more then they are sleeping.

He then said "It's a fact, I'm not telling you a story here, it's true fact"

I then asked him "What about outside cats, and native cats?"
He said "They sleep more than domestic cats. They only wake up to hunt for food, relieve themselves, and explore a bit, then they're back to sleep. Inside cats are more active than outdoor cats, and do sleep less"

I searched around the internet. The only thing I could find was on Wikipedia it said domestic cats (House Cats) sleep on average 10 to 12 hours a day, but not all in one sleep.

If anyone can find proof of what our Vet claims.
Can you please send us the link via the contact us widget?
