Us kittens after all...

It is generally believed, by humans mainly, that us cats are mostly lazy and that we usually the only thisns we do is just eat (in some cases quite a lot), sleep, a lot...lick ourselves, a lot and now & then visit the litter tray...yes, well we do but there is a good reason for it. You see it is is in our genes, we were born that way not to use unneccesarry energy if there is no reason to do so and besides what else do you expect from a cat to do? Perhaps to occasionally play with toys and strings and balls and things but we usually only do this to entertain you humans and to also stop you calling us lazy all the time...what else do you think other mammals do? Except from forced to go for occasional walks dogs follow more or less the same routine like us cats do. As for the myth that cats need to go outside to keep themselves stimulated...well it is really a... myth. Cats that go outside for hours upon hours do exactly the same things that indoors cats do...sleep a lot! The only difference is that cats that go outside tend to sleep in some sunny corner (if they can find one) in the neighbour's garden instead from the sofa or bed. But in most cases they would have preferred to stay indoors with their humans than be outside in the cold and wet weather or they go outside so they can stay away from the other cats that live under the same roof. You see it is an urban myth that us cats like being outside, we actually prefer to be inside keeping our humans company with food available to us, twenty four hours along with some nice toys and furry toy mices than being outside and actually having to catch real mice and birds or even frogs to entertain ourselve...we only do it because we have no toys to play with outside...Flies and small insects are another story...more fun and easier to catch inside or outside and very tasty too for small snacks!
Cats that go outside are getting bored too you know...I often see next door's cat playing hide and seek with herself in our garden and doing what you humans call 'mad dashes', running for no reason from one side of the garden to the other chasing herself because she is bored and she has no human or other cat to pester...
So I'm quite happy being indoors all the time as I get attention and food when I want it from humans and I can pester the other two cats when I feel like...So don't listen to what other humans tell you that us cats need to be outside...this kitty here says otherwise!
