Sleeping more than normal for more than one day is not normal. Sometimes a cat may sleep more after a busy night out. However if this lasts through the weekend or if your cat stops eating or appears lethargic, you should take her to your vet on Monday for an exam and possibly a blood test.

Hi there and thank you for your post! Without examining your cat it is difficult to say what the problem could be. Your cat may be dealing with a systemic illness or infection. If your cat has not been feeling well, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine your cat so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns and I'll be more than happy to help you further.
