If you can make it through this without crying, let me know – because I am yet to speak to someone who can.

I promise this has a happy ending, despite the tears but it really does show the difference one person, one picture, one video, and one email can have on rescuing animals

what do your cats get up to when you are not home?

In research sponsored by Friskies cat food, animal behaviour scientist Jill Villarreal gave 50 house cats collar cameras that took a photo every 15 minutes, Associated Press reports. Some of the leading ways the cats occupied themselves:

  • Looking out of windows– 22% of the time
  • Interacting with other family pets – 12%
  • Climbing on furniture – 8%
  • Sleeping, looking at television or other media, hiding under tables – each 6%
  • Playing with toys – 5%
  • Eating or looking at food – 4%

I have always wondered what they get up to when I am not home
