Yesterday the humans celebrated the day of the Superb Owl. I kept an eye and ear out for an owl all day but with no luck. Nary an owl! However, in honor of the occasion I am posting this photo of a barred owl I once saw. The photo is not great, but the owl qualifies as pretty superb.
For all you kittens out there, big owls like this one should only be observed from a safe distance, preferably from behind a glass window.

Does your human jump up to work, eat, play or just plain squirm just when you're getting really settled in for the long haul on your companionable nap at their side or on their lap? Yeah, mine too. I've tried training them out of it, with only moderate success.
But then, surprise, surprise, it turns out that all that hyperactivity is actually good for them! It's very healthy for them to move for at least two minutes per hour. Who'd have guessed? I'm only getting started on a nap after the first hour myself.
So are the humans on to something? Should we cats be sleeping less?
Definitely not! I for one need my fifteen hours of sleep, and I suspect you do too. Just curl up, close your eyes, and let the humans do their thing.
Let sleeping cats lie.
