Message 11845991 The person who sent me the link about Ukoad has a friend, J, who wrote to him and got an email back! Here is the exchange, if you're interested. I posted it on Cobe's thread.

You know, I've been watching. A cat, really can sleep through a whole day, and night. And the next one. Yes. And I guess, indefinitely. Like for years. No kidding. It's true. Sad, but true. Fui and Keet are here in the living room, asleep, where they have been since 7:00 a.m. They'll be here from now till MJ gets home, and they'll just make a note of the time, and then get up around 7:37:49, to howl and stampede and trip-the-cripples, for dinner. Then hit the furniture, and sleep till the dreaded 11 o'clock news. Lots of growling then, keep your appendages close to your person or under sleeves, and toss their stiff, old, un-exercised, doze-frozen bodies out the doors. They appreciate it if you put them up on the pile where their box is, because then they can crawl right in under the blanket flap MJ made for them, AND GO TO SLEEP. Now don't you think there would be some HEALTH EFFECTS from this? This kind of behavior? Don't you think that 23 three literal hours of sleep a day-in and day-out, would do something to you? There are 720 hours in a 30 day month. These guys are asleep 690 of them. That's a very realistic estimate. Realistic, people. (Why worry about them dying and being gone?) The two younger ones, well they're speeders, snorting crank and staying up three hours a day. There was a time when I had been told cats were nocturnal. And they're awake then, "at night", and that's why they are sleep during the day. And it's why they're GROUCHY when you wake them, because ".....they NEED their sleep." What a bunch of bleeding-heart-liberal CRAP that is. THEY'RE ASLEEP AT NIGHT. AND THEY KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, BECAUSE YOU'RE ASLEEP AT NIGHT. I, will swear, in any court affidavits, that I I I have been OUT THERE. Checking on them. And this "theory." Pussy theory. You know what cats are doing at night? FINDING A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP. And if they already have one? THEY'RE NOT GOING OUT TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER. Wake up, PEOPLE! These animals are LAZY. L-A-Z-Y. LAZY! They're GETTING AWAY WITH STUFF. Oh, sure; the frisky ones will take a walk at 11:30, stop and yell some steel-mill obscenities at a neighbor, and see what Gillis is getting to eat. "There we go. That was quite a workout." "Better nap." "I'll need my strength, to get breakfast." Waste not, want not; that's their theory. "Don't waste yer time." "Sleep on it." "You'll feel better after a six hundred and ninety hour nap." "Hunt in your dreams." "Don't miss breakfast." "Set your alarm." "Humans are warmer than furniture unless they're dead." "Five cats ~ five heater vents. No pawblem." "Don't you wish you had your own refrigerator?" "Act old." "He never gets the treats, Stupid." "One time I got in the car. And got sick." ".....and tinkled on the old guy." "I didn't feel good." "That dog nex door has GOT A ROPE ON HIM!! Heehee!!! What a sucker!" "It's Saturday. They don't get up on Saturday." "Okay. Okay. I'll.....go back to sleep." For this infestation, I'm paying 690 dollars a year at the feed store, and another 690 at the vet's. But at least now I know about it.
