And yet...yes. That is exactly what cats seem to be. <br />You're right about "cat nap" being a misnomer. A cat can and does nap all day long, getting up only to go eat and drink and use the facilities now and then, or perhaps to change the place where they want to sleep. Mainly from one bed to another in Jack's case.

He is not the sort of man who would disdain a poetry-reciting guy, especially if you made him one of your traditional Sunday dinners. He is aware that people come in all different ways and all have different gifts. That is one of the things I love about him.

So, cats sleep all day, dash around at dusk, sleep all night, dash around in the early morning, and go back to sleep for the day. And of course, the dash-around time may only last ten minutes or so...<br />I think "catnap" is a misnomer-- rather, their long sleep sessions are punctuated by brief periods of being awake. "Catwakes"?

He has lots of things with wheels. Even worse, he owns multiple garages at multiple places with more wheeled things in. We've got two trucks and two cars in our driveway, another car in the garage, a 'project car' he tells me. He's got two tractors and two four wheelers in the garage at the retirement property, and a project truck stashed in yet another garage. Yet every time that I turn around, he's eyeballing another tractor. Another truck. And he's got that same happy smile on his face that Mr. Moon has on his. Even without a grandson at his side.

In contrast, he would probably find me quite tiresome as I strut around reciting poetry, creating art and food and taking endless photos of the English landscape.
