Wino Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 What do cats do all day? According to the following article, cats spend 22 % of their time looking out the window, 12% playing with other family pets, 8% climbing on chairs or kitty condos and just 6% sleeping, 6% looking at TV, DVD or computer, 6% hiding under tables, 5% playing with toys, and 4% eating or looking at food. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091203/ap_on_fe_st/us_pets_cat_cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 And what about the other 31%? That's when they're trying to bury me in the sandbox.... You're either a cat person or you aren't. I "aren't." Other than thinking most kittens are rather cute, I generally dislike cats with a passion. A lot of them don't do diddley - just sit there looking superior and occasionally piss on the walls or something of the sort. If I walk into a house and can smell a cat (which, thankfully, isn't too often), I just about gag. Okay....the cat lovers can have at me....hehe.

Wino Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 The article did not mention the other 31%. Any ideas? Maybe 5% sharpening their claws on your furniture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvdkeyes Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 The article has no validity since it doesn't cover the 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wino Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 This was a news article and not a scientific study published in an animal behavior journal. Take it at face value, valid or not. What they did was to put cam collars on fifty cats. The camera took a photo every 15 minutes. It is interesting how active cats are while the owners are away. I bet most dogs would be asleep on the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
