Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a poll regarding the sleeping habits of cats, initiated by a participant who is developing a product for cats. Participants share anecdotes about their cats' sleeping preferences and behaviors, contributing to a light-hearted exploration of the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant mentions their cat's aversion to a purchased bed, opting instead for blankets.
  • Multiple participants suggest the possibility of Feline Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in their cats, though they acknowledge the difficulty in diagnosing it.
  • Another participant describes their cat's tendency to change sleeping locations frequently, possibly to avoid human interaction.
  • A participant recalls their late cat's preference for sleeping in the bathroom sink.
  • Several participants discuss a neighbor's cat that sleeps on a doorstep, noting concerns about accidentally stepping on it.
  • Humorous remarks are made about the cat's apparent trust and the risks associated with its sleeping habits.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants share various personal experiences and observations about their cats' sleeping habits, but there is no consensus on any specific sleeping behavior or diagnosis. The discussion remains informal and anecdotal.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty regarding the diagnosis of Feline Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the motivations behind their cats' sleeping choices. The discussion is based on personal anecdotes rather than scientific evidence.

My wife and I are developing a small product in our spare time to sell on something like Etsy, for cats, and wanted to get a small sample poll of some simple sleeping habits of your cats. I hope this is OK to post here in GD.

The link is : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1r9SNp1ZC3X_HeVd3ItVHCIjkEz6zMc2tPON1qC5RKlc/viewform

Its just 6 checkbox questions and don't feel like you need to leave your email. Feel free to leave any additional info at the bottom box! We kept it short because we didn't want it to feel like it would take more than 5 seconds to fill out.

Thanks!

I bought my cat a bed a few years ago and he decided to pee in it. Now I just put out some blankets and he likes that.
 
I think my cat has Feline Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Hard to say, though -- FCFS really difficult to diagnose.

:biggrin:

I think a lot of cats are faking it.
 
My cat back home seems to like to change his sleeping place often. There's a few places that have a good chance of finding him in, but he never has one preferred spot. That may have to do with trying to get away from people though.
 
Our (late) cat liked the bathroom sink.
 
A neighbor's cat spends most of the day sleeping on my doorstep (a concrete slab on a brick base), especially when it's warm and sunny.

I worry that one day I'm going to forget about this behaviour, and tread on its head on the way out of the house...

Maybe it's playing Russian Cat Roulette with its nine lives, or something :biggrin:

If it does wake up when I open the door, it certainly doesn't open its eyes, or move.
