My previous cats did their fair share of sleeping but also ran around for short periods, played fetch with toys, spent a fair but if the day outdoors and so on. In his dotage, LandingCat slept a lot more but he was an old man by then, and he was always first up in the house, looking for breakfast. BiteyCat is a bit different - both yesterday and today, for example, he hadn't stirred from his bed till we got up, went gone outside to toilet for less than five minutes after breakfast, then took up residence on our bed and every time one of us went upstairs barely lifted his head. He'll appear about 5 looking for dinner and hang about downstairs in the evening, but sits and snoozes a fair bit of the time then too. I play with him every evening, but even then his preferred mode of play is him lying down grabbing at a fishing rod toy! The rescue and he vet estimate his age as about 3 so he is in the prime of life. Is he the laziest cat in Britain or is he fairly typical?
