To prepare for the hunt which, in my cats case, involves walking around in the dead of night yowling with his favourite toy. Doesn't take much energy but he still sleeps all day.

I like their quietness.

The cats ability to sleep impresses me.

I had a siesta last year with one of our cats, thought I had done very well, slept solidly for about 40 minutes.
Woke up, looked at our cat thinking "how was that? Are you impressed or what?"
She looked at me with a look of disbelief, rolled over and immediately went back to sleep.
Not just a siesta sleep, a fully deep sleep.

I sneaked off feeling quite ashamed.

While visiting a zoo in New Delhi, India, one man wanted to see the rare white tiger close up and was climbing on the enclosure to get a better view. He was repeatedly warned to get down as both the fall and the animal could be potentially disastrous. Undeterred, the man held his position until losing balance and falling into the tiger cage.

Instantly the white tiger prowled up to the man and kept him cornered for almost 15 minutes as other visitors and zookeepers tried to distract the animal. Unfortunately, it eventually decided to pounce and dragged the man, by the neck, back to its den before killing him.

Our cat is an indoor cat, a Blue Burmese goes from sleeping for hours to charging around the house like a maniac, even leaping up at and hanging from the screen doors.

Often followed by a sh1t in the litter box! :D Maybe I should go for a run when I need a crap! :rofl :rofl

Fucking ratbag at times.
