Is my 1.5-year-old cat sleeping more due to age or a health issue?

Question

Hello. My cat is 1.5 years old and I have recently noticed that he sleeps more than usual. He had a check-up just over a week ago and everything was fine. He got his annual rabies vaccine (even though he's an indoor cat). He's been eating and drinking normally, and in the morning and evenings, he wants to play. Should I be worried or is he just growing older and wanting more sleep? Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 10 lbs

Good on you getting Loki's rabies vaccine! That's very important to have because there's always a chance he could accidentally get out. Given that he's otherwise acting normal, I wouldn't be too worried about him sleeping more. Cats do tend to slow down a bit as they grow up, and it's good he still wants to play. It's probably cold where you are now, and he may want to sleep more due to the cold. Keep an eye on him, and if the lethargy gets worse, he stops eating or drinking, or develops other signs, then I would be worried and have him seen by the vet. Best of luck and happy holidays!
