So CC lives up to her name….

Fifteen minutes. Heck, my guys can’t bother themselves to give such a thing 15 *seconds* of their attention. “Yeah yeah, you met someone interesting, sniffed it, it was good, now it’s time for another nap.” Heh. Of course, they’re old, so that nap stuff is pretty much all the time now…

Tonight CC got up on the roof and forgot how to get down, so her ‘staff’ climbed on top of a garbage can to get her down. She is just weird.

My indoor crew couldn’t care less about strange odors or much of anything else unless it involves food.

In the wild the various kinds of cats, including the big cats, spend most of their day sleeping. No point is working up a sweat…

Not that cats can really work up a sweat anyhow, other than on their paws :).

Quite true as the domesticated form descended from a wild desert ancestor and hoard all of their water. Feral cats who exist on caught prey get almost all of their water from the body of their prey, and, as a result, cat urine is extremely concentrated, hence the strong odor.

They are ridiculously efficient predators in the wild. Their whole schtick is catching the most prey for the least energy expended, which is of course why cats are so hard to train — if it requires a lot of energy, no amount of treats will convince them to do it. It goes against every instinct in a cat’s little head to expend more calories doing a trick than it can consume in the same amount of time as treats.

if you haven’t established a behavior by 8 weeks, you can pretty well forget it with most cats. My first cat would play ‘fetch’ because I started doing it when she was a kitten, but I wasn’t successful with my current crew because Ringo thought it was a waste of time and discouraged it.
