    Bailey the dog is also an Aussie, and she is smart as a whip. I could see her totally doing this for her and Charlie the cat.

    @badmutha: I love (at 6:50) when Bailey has given up rummaging through the trashcan, Charlie gives him a friendly swat/pat as if to say,
    Dude, give it another go, one more looksie.

    My beloved Eleanor Roosevelt Rigby ______ spends much of her day planning the assasination of my husband, and her takeover of the world. She's like the Stewie of cats, but was like this long before Family Guy. Eleanor is at least 17.

    Eleanor is a founding member of the National Cat Network, which is like the IRA of cats. They keep an eye on cat haters around the globe, and plot revenge. The NCN also advances the causes of cats wherever and whenever they can.

    Napping is a small part of her day, but she is soooooo cute when she does it!

    @olympia72: Perhaps not. As Eleanor has explained it, NCN members have no problem with cat-lovers, such as you and me.

    Their problem is with those will NOT SUBMIT, such as my husband.

    Ira is a cool cat name.

    @NewsBunny: See, I think this is where Ira and Eleanor differ. She thinks the big picture, and has a noble goal in mind. Ira just wants to eat and do and get as matted as he wants.

    And thanks! I love Ira's name too (Eleanor is another great name, BTW). I'm a fan of serious people names for cats. I know in Ira's case, this seemed particularly necessary as he's such a foufy, princess looking kitty. The woman we got him from named him Buster- AWFUL!

    Yo, who put the hidden camera in my house (video 2)?! Yes, napping is my favorite hobby. I even have a postcard in my kitchen which reads, "Damn right I'm good in bed. I could sleep all day long."

    Also video 3 is shocking because I expected more action--such as fur flying, paw swatting, howling--between Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat.

    WHY DO THEY ALWAYS EAT OVER THE WHITE CARPET.

    The pets i had as a kid did this. Kitty got on counter and knocked things on the floor or pulled them out of the cabinets (smart, wily, street wise kitty), stupid little Yorkie sat onfloor and ate the profits.

    My cat spends the other 21% of the day destroying my houseplants.

    I am not amused.

    @TheFormerJuneBronson: My cat enjoys unrolling all of the toilet paper in the house and then shredding and eating it. From the looks of things, this occupies 51% of his day.

    Also, those cats in the third clip...mine have broken EVERY blind cord in the house. They are all tied together in knots.

    @Penny: Cat safety tip: unless your cords are really long and close to the ground, replace them with safety cords (the knobby thing splits in two under pressure) or just cut them, so kitty can't get stuck. It happened to my cat, but I was luckily there to rescue her or she would have been strangled.

    Wait, they took pictures every 15 mins? That makes no sense, cats take CATNAPS less than 15 in length. No wonder they came up with the 6%.

    How is it that reading that list just made me giggle?? God, I love cats.

    I was going to say that this is bogus, but the staring out the window thing is spot on.

    Other time is spent scratching furniture, finding hair ties to play with and peeing in the dog's bed.

    How much time do they spend falling off of things and then protecting their dignity by pretending nothing happened?
