National Geographic has collaborated with the University of Georgia in order to research what cats do when owners are not around. How did they do this? By putting cameras on dozens of cats to see what they’re up to when they’re alone. It’s been done on smaller scales before but this time it was on a much larger scale.
Quoted from CBS News “Cats spent a lot of time under cars, inside of cars, inside of sewers, climbing roofs, climbing fences.I think they have intriguing lives because they do things we’d never expected them to do.”
Something that may disturb a few cat owners is this though… “A lot of cats were found cheating on their owners, in that they were spending a lot of time with other families, and were fed by other families and slept on the beds of other families.”
Looks like the cat is out of the bag as the study answers many of our curious questions and suspicions about their alone time and has also shed more light on how cats interact with other animals when people are not around.
