Fifty house cats in Los Angeles were given collar cams so that researches could see just what cats do all day when there owners are away.
Topping the list was looking out windows which is done 22 percent of the day. 12 percent was used to interact with other family pets and eight percent was spent climbing on chairs or kitty condos. Just six percent of their hours were spent sleeping. Playing with toys came it at five percent, and eating and/or looking at food came in at four percent.
"What surprised me was how active the cats were. I believed my three cats were sleeping during the day," said Jill Villarreal, an animal behavior scientist who collected the data for Nestle Purina PetCare's Friskies brand of cat food.
According too Villarreal the cats may be equipped with movie cameras next but it is still being debater.
