Cats are the pawfessional nappers of the animal world, and that's a feline fact.

Some would argue that the title for the best sleeper in the animal kingdom should go to another animal. There are burly bears, who hibernate between 3-8 months in winter - that's such a long sleep, we're surprised they need any other sleeping time after they wake from hibernating. There are also bats - did you know they sleep 18-20 hours a day, while they're hung upside down like mice curtains? That's talent. Koalas are also great condedants for the tired crown, sleeping even more than 20 hours a day. You see, the eucalyptus leaves they eat are so low in energy (and mildly toxic) that koalas conserve power by… doing absolutely nothing most of the time.

But then you have cats. Cats don't hibernate, but Olympic napping is probably the sport they'll always win gold in. Cats nap pawfessionally, and they do it anywhere: on their humans, on the couch, in cardboard boxes, on your pillow, and in every nook and cranny you don't even know a cat could fit in. And they do it in a respectable 12-16 hours a day. If that's not what professional napping looks like, we don't know what is.

Besides, if you're a cat pawrent, we're pretty sure you're already reading these very words with a cat on your lap, sleeping, of course. Moreover, if you're a cat pawrent, you already know your cat is the best sleeper in the house. It doesn't matter how many of your family members sleep very well each night, or if you have other pets - the cat always wins the gold medal of best sleeping creature.

As per the Elden Ring wiki, this is:
“Great Épée is a Heavy Thrusting Sword in Elden Ring. The Great Épée scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for combat where thrusting will benefit the fighter. Its extra weight packs some extra physical attack power and still allows players to use this weapon with a shield."
We'd add at least a level 5 sleeping spell on that…

Technically, cats really do need to sleep a lot to conserve energy, like a battery being charged. Otherwise, how would you explain the sudden energy bursts they get in the middle of the night, going on a 3 AM zoomies spree like there's no tomorrow? That's a smart energy conservation method, but the usage… is debatable.
