catnapper
Daytime doze taker
A catnapper is someone who steals cats, or someone who takes catnaps—brief, light sleeps.
The thief sense parallels kidnapper; the sleeper sense comes from the feline habit of dozing frequently throughout the day: My grandfather was a notorious catnapper, nodding off in his chair every afternoon.
