True or False?

Cats have a unique walking pattern—they move both right legs, then both left legs.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Cats have mastered the art of relaxation, sleeping up to 18 hours a day. And while it may seem like they’re just living their best, most carefree life, there’s actually something we can learn from them—especially when it comes to naps.

Research shows that short naps (about 20-30 minutes) can improve memory, boost mood, and increase alertness. But when you add a cat to the mix, the benefits go beyond just catching up on sleep. The rhythmic sound of purring has been shown to lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and even promote healing. Plus, napping together can strengthen the bond between you and your cat, making them feel safer and more connected to you.

Of course, not every cat is a cuddler. Some prefer to sleep at a distance, while others love to curl up right next to you. Either way, their presence alone can have a calming effect.

So, the next time your cat finds a cozy spot to nap, take the hint—slow down, recharge, and enjoy the moment. They clearly know what they’re doing.

Meet Hunter – a four-year-old kitty who knows a thing or two about comfort. His owner got him an Unhide Floof Donut Pet Bed, and within minutes, he ditched his old Amazon bed for good. Now, he spends his days curled up like a baby, switching between his favorite Unhide beds.

If your cat deserves the softest, fluffiest, and coziest nap spot, Unhide’s Floof Pet Beds & Blankets are the ultimate upgrade. Designed for endless snuggles and deep purr-filled sleep, they’re Hunter-approved and cat-tested for maximum comfort.

Daily Purr reader Laura shares the adorable bond between Moose and his best friend, Stella the dog! From the very first day, these two were inseparable—napping together, playing chase, and even grooming each other.

Moose takes his role as Stella’s personal paw cleaner very seriously, while Stella enjoys giving Moose a good sniff whenever she gets the chance. Their friendship is proof that cats and dogs can be the perfect duo!

Thanks, Laura, for sharing Moose and Stella’s sweet connection! Want to see your cat featured as the Daily Purr Cat of the Day? Send in a photo and some fun facts about your kitty—they might be next!

Every cat parent has opinions on outdoor roaming, hunting, and cat safety—but did you know those views might put you in one of five categories? A study from the University of Exeter identified distinct cat owner types, ranging from protective homebodies to those who believe in total feline freedom.

Some cat parents, called Concerned Protectors, keep their cats indoors for safety, while Freedom Defenders believe cats should roam like wild animals. In between, there are Tolerant Guardians (who don’t love hunting but accept it), Conscientious Caretakers (who try to limit their cat’s impact on wildlife), and Laissez-Faire Landlords (who simply let their cats do as they please).

Interestingly, even owners who dislike hunting often struggle with limiting it. Most don’t want to restrict their cat’s freedom, but they also don’t want them bringing home birds and mice.

Where do you fit in? No matter your approach, understanding your cat’s behavior—and its impact—can help you make informed choices for both your pet and local wildlife.
