Why do cats look like reptiles? Why are they so spaced out?
What planet are you from? Cats are not spaced out. They are just smart enough to know the more they sleep the less chance they have a meeting an idiot like you.

The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy last week bought 55 acres of land in rural Venango County to protect an endangered rattlesnake.
Pennsylvania officials declared the eastern massasauga rattlesnake an endangered species, and the rattlesnake is under consideration for federal protection, which could help secure additional funding for conservation efforts and open up the resources of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"They bring balance to the ecosystem, and they are part of our history in Pennsylvania and worth preserving," Ryan Miller, a zoologist with the conservancy, said about the snakes.
Miller wouldn't disclose the exact location of the property, only saying it was in the northwestern corner of Venango County. The conservancy said the property contains more than 12 acres of wetlands and 1,600 feet of stream.
"We know (the snakes) are in the area," Miller said. "They're very hard to find, they stay hidden in the grass."
Miller said it's unknown how many of the rattlers live on the Venango County land or in three other sites in Venango and Butler counties, but the numbers have been dwindling.
I Want To Wish Everyone A Merry Christmas
You're all creepy and too closely camouflaged to all of the leaves and dirt and I can't hardly stand the thought of touching you or seeing you creep away like I didn't almost see you or touch you. ) Lastly, I'm prejudiced against reptiles in general but I have a high degree of tolerance for leaf peepers. I don't ever see them but they hang out in the Black Swamp vestige behind our house and I love to fall asleep while they're singing.
