What Do Cats That Go Outdoors Do All Day?

Bryan Schmidt • Sep 30, 2019

Out of 21 cats, researchers were able to put a camera on 16 cats and follow them around their neighborhood. The remaining 5 cats, said absolutely not! Ha!

Researchers stated that cats normally seem lazy, compared to dogs. However, when they were outside they were very alert. They would scan their surroundings for a half hour, sometimes more! Although being territorial, when these cats encountered other cats they didn’t always fight with them. They would just sit a little ways away from them for up to about 30 minutes. Possibly sizing each other up, sometimes greeting each other with nose touches. 

Although we do not recommend your cat be allowed outdoors, we did find this study very interesting!
