When I'm home all day, such as on weekends, I notice that Mookie does not sleep much if at all while we're hanging out with her. That means she only sleeps when we do, which is around 7-9 hours a night. I'm fairly sure that on work days she sleeps twice that (and I've read 16ish is normal for cats).
How do you handle that? How do you get your cat to sleep more or go somewhere where it's quiet (TV off, etc.) so that your cat can get proper rest? Or do you just keep your cat awake 14-18 hours a day when you're home?
Mookie seems to like to hang out where the humans are all day; she won't go into another room to rest. And she seems more lethargic as a result of reduced sleep on weekends and other non-work days.
