The secret world of cats

How did paw prints end up on the PC? Why is there catnip in the kitchen drawers? And what became of the ball of yarn meant for aunt Nona's new scarf?

The world (and by "the world" I mean "me") may never know the answers to these perplexing questions. But a new study from Friskies has finally shed some light on the situation. Using a bit of ingenious technology - mini kitty cams, attached to collars - Purina has infiltrated the secret world of our feline friends. And what they've found might come as something of a surprise.

Our cats are more curious than most of us thought. And, believe it or not, "cat-napping" probably ranks pretty low on your kitty's list of "to-do's."

According to the collar cam (which captured still photographs every 15 minutes), our cats would rather be on the prowl for adventure than on your bed taking a nap. In fact, only 6% of the cats in the study spent the majority of their day snoozing, while double that number preferred to spend their time playing with other pets. 7% enjoyed climbing and playing with houseplants, and 5% preferred to play with toys. But their very favorite activity? Surveying their domain - 21% of our cats actually spend most of the day staring out the window.

Kinda makes you wonder what they're thinking about, doesn't it?
