Newly released study - Could be CATASTROPHY !
A newly released paper in the quasi scientific journal Quasi Science reveals the results of a recent study which confirms that cats only sleep 3 hours a day. It had been thought that the average Tabby snoozes up to 20 hours a day, leaving approximately 4 hours to eat, poop, and annoy. A noted catographer, however, has put an end to such notions, saying that up to 15 hours of feigned sleep is actually spent plotting.

1. Cat and Dog Diaries...
As seen in the dog's diary:

8am - Oh Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
9am - Oh Boy! A car ride! My favorite
10am - Oh Boy! A walk! My favorite!
11am - Oh Boy! A car ride! My favorite!
Noon - Oh Boy! The kids! My favorite!
1pm - Oh Boy! The yard! My favorite!
3pm - Oh Boy! The kids! My favorite!
4pm - Oh Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
5pm - Oh Boy! Mom! My favorite!
7pm - Oh Boy! Playing ball! My favorite!
9pm - Oh Boy! Sleeping in master's bed! My favorite!


As seen in the cat's diary:

Day 183 of my captivity... My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded -- must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favourite chair -- must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to my power to cause "allergies". I must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captive is obviously a half-wit. He is routinely released and seems more than happy to return.

2. Yup.
That would describe 2 of my 4 cats. Actually I think they spend 4 hours sleeping, 4 hours playing, and 16 hours plotting.
