Cats have excellent night vision, so they often hunt small rodents and birds at night. During the day, however, their vision is comparable to that of humans. On average, domestic cats sleep about 18 hours a day and spend their waking hours foraging for food. While wild cats are solitary, domestic cats often enjoy the attention of people and other animals, and they even get along well with some dogs.
