Cats aren't babies, they're tiny CEOs on a permanent power nap, We should all sleep like a cat, deeply, smugly, and fully confident the staff has everything handled.
As a new aunt, it's because once they fall asleep you can fully pick it up and shift their posture and they're like fully comatose, no reaction. It's like magic. I'll wake up if someone opens the door to my bedroom.
But cat is baby, sleep like a furbaby.

I can confirm. Aren’t all our cats our little babies ? They sure act like babies aside from the fact they shit in a box
Sleep, eat, shit in a box, run around like crazy, go back to sleep.
They are just like me, fr fr
(to be fair, we shit in porcelain bowls...close enough)
The saying probably came around when they were selling heroin as baby sleeping aids. So really the saying should be “slept like a baby, on heroin”
Do you have a source for this? I like historic linguistics, and it sounds plausible but I need to check.
No I’m just being silly
Of course you’re being silly. It likely would have been cocaine, opium or whiskey to knock them out.
Teething tonics with opium were a thing. Rubbing brandy or whiskey on sore gums too.

That's why you say you sleep like a log.
Or like the dead.
My cat wakes up every 30 minutes because some dumb bird chirped outside the window
Bro's maxed hunter skills 😹
My cat wakes up all the time mid-nap.
Because I wake him up all the time to pet him and kiss his little head.
Then they do the same by waking you up at 4 in the morning?!
Soo true and cute!
Or a koala
Then eats, and sleeps another 10 hours.

oh how much i'd love to be cat
mirtazapine should be just called catzapine
Zoomies at 3 am
Waking up to eat, and running wild for exactly 15 minutes at 3:30 in the morning? I'm in.
That constant meowing at 4am like they were on a fast
I slept like a log... Woke up with my head in the fireplace
I have awoken as well from my 14 hour slumber
To be fair, from the cat's perspective, he has plenty of responsibilities.
Valid
Stand up, licking my lips, turn around, lay back down and get another couple hours.
The older I get, the more I want to spend my time unconscious.
Sometimes you need a second nap to rest up after your first nap.
Sometimes I sleep like a literal baby, sometimes like a cat.
