Are You As Lazy as a Cat?

Are You As Lazy as a Cat?

Any cat owner will testify to the perceivable laziness of their beloved pet. It doesn't matter how much we love those fuzzy little creatures, there's no denying they're goddam work-shy! If they're not hogging the couch, they're asleep on your lap. They're meowing at you for food and treats if they're not lounging in the sun.

Indeed, the life of a domestic cat is charmed, to say the least. Let's face it, who wouldn't want to come back as a pampered puss? However, these languorous, listless loafers are also capable of incredible feats of energetic prowess - they can climb trees, jump over walls, leap from high places and land on their feet. And it's this odd juxtaposition between sloth and superhero that makes the domestic cat such an enduringly brilliant pet.

But are you capable of the laziness of the cat while keeping superpowers hidden from view? Or are you just a lackluster, lethargic panda, literally too lazy to perpetuate your own species? Or are you so tightly wound that you're likely to snap at any moment, like a saltwater crocodile?
