Day 1292: Bored

boredI’m absolutely bored and have nothing to write about. So we’re going to make the best of it.

Join me while I take some time to research my favourite topic: Me! Well, not specifically me, but Cats in general. Let see what kind of dirt you apes are spewing about us.

Here’s some fun facts:

  • There are approximately 68 million owned dogs in the United States.
    • But there are approximately 73 million owned Cats in the United States. (So There!)
  • Cats sleep for an average of sixteen hours a day.
    • What can I say, I’m above average.
  • A Cat has a poor sense of taste. Apes have 9,000 taste buds, while a Cat has only 473. A Cats eating experience relies upon smell just as much, if not more, than taste.
  • In 1976 a  mystery Cat in Hong Kong killed more than 20 dogs. According to local ApeLore it was about 4 feet long, and black or grey in colour. It was never caught.
    • Typical “One That Got Away” Ape story. It gets bigger each time they tell it. The “killer” was likely no bigger than me.
  • Dusty of Bonham in Texas is reputed to be the most prolific female Cat in the world, by 1952 Dusty had produced 420 kittens.
    • Tramp!
  • 84% of owned Cats in the USA are spayed or neutered.
    • In this house, it’s 100%! (Don’t even get me started on that topic!) Otherwise I would have been all over Dusty myself!
  • 68% of Cats get gifts.
    • You’re forgetting about the 32% of us don’t! You Apes with your “cup half full” attitude really tick me off!

Well, that killed an evening, and a post. The Apes are due home soon so I’d best get off the computer.
