cat napping
Light pet sleep
Cat napping (also catnapping) is taking a short, light sleep—the kind cats are known for.
A cat nap typically lasts fifteen to thirty minutes: I'm going to cat nap before dinner.
The term suggests a brief rest rather than deep sleep, often taken during the day to restore alertness.
