The cat's have the right idea..lying on the cool tiles in the dark. That Of course they have the right idea.  Cat's are perfect. Or so they like to believe :) The *are* perfect.  ;) Then explain why the hell the cat fell off my desk yesterday? You know how I have a corner desk? A gravitational flaw. he was lying on his back, and rolled over to stand up And managed to put his front paw in the empty space in the corner between the two segments So he put his weight on it to get up, and fell down max: He did that on purpose. It was funny as hell. max: He knew you needed a laugh. he looked mortified.  He left shortly after. You're just projecting your feelings onto the cat.  ;)
