Camera footage reveals how a cat really spends the day while its owner is at work
A cat owner installed a camera in his flat to check whether his pet feels lonely when he is away. The recording showed the cat calmly sleeping for much of the day.
A pet owner who was seriously worried that his cat might feel lonely and sad while he was at work decided to check how the animal spends its day in an empty flat. Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze reported on the case on 12 November, publishing a video from the camera set up at home. The source does not name the owner or say where the footage was recorded.
The owner installed a camera in the flat to find out whether the cat was really downcast without him. What he saw greatly surprised him, as it proved the opposite. As soon as the owner left the house and headed to work, the cat became carefree and slept until almost noon.
The recording also shows that as the sun moved during the day, the cat dragged its own bed to the sunniest spot in the room and fell asleep there again. The animal was therefore not sad but chose a comfortable place and rested peacefully.
The video was shared on social media, and it illustrates that a pet's behaviour when its owner is away can differ from what owners imagine.
