CatCam

What does your cat do all day while you are away? An animal-behavior scientist by the name of Jill Villarreal answered this question by giving 50 house cats collar mounted cameras that took a photo every 15 minutes. Common wisdom assumed that cats spent most of their time sleeping. The results showed a different picture:

• 22 percent of their time looking out of windows
• 12 percent interacting with other family pets
• 8 percent climbing on chairs or kitty condos
• 6 percent looking at a TV, computer or other media
• 6 percent of the time and hiding under tables
  
• 6 percent of their hours were spent sleeping
• 5 percent of the time was spent playing with toys
• 4 percent eating or looking at food

The reminder of their time was spent plotting to take over the world.

Update: The Cameras are available here.
