Our cat absolutely ignores everything on a screen. And is boredom in cats even a thing? He absolutely no trouble sleeping the whole day. Does not even matter if he is outside or inside he will sleep through the apocalypse. As long he has a few ours of activity every now and then he is absolutely fine. Which usually means strolling around in the garden and playing with the neighbors cat or his humans. If you have a cat and you have to leave it alone for days you should not have a cat. Half a day is usually totally fine

Agreed. Cats, unlike dogs, seem to be able to take care of themselves just fine and don't mind being without their human for some time. My cat does like to snuggle up at night in the couch or sneak into the bedroom. (To sleep under the bed). It also depends on the age of the cat and the way they are raised of course. My cat is 16 years old now, and quite happily sleeps for most of the day in a sunny spot inside our home. Whilst she used to always like wandering around outside when she was younger.

  Dogs depended on humans through evolution which differs from cats which were simply worshiped by humans or something like that idk

My cat doesn't get bored, when she wants something to do she finds something to do: 1) Move things from tables and shelves to floor 2) Chew on stuff Finding non-destructive activities is a challenge, new toys work for a bit until they're not exciting anymore, then it's back to destroying things.

  That's a big part of the reason we made this! It actually cycles content and experiments to figure out what engages your cat best :)

I'm actually the creator! Had no idea this post was a thing. The fact that cats "don't get bored" is a huge misconception! PetMD says "Our misunderstanding of cats as ‘low-maintenance’ pets has led to cats that are bored and stressed. This has resulted in an epidemic of feline obesity as well as stress-associated diseases” Besides that, we are definitely targeting indoor cat owners. People who can't give their cat the luxury of an outdoor life. This is not for people who leave their cats alone for days, it's for people who leave their cats alone when they go to work. 8 hours alone is stressful for the indoor cat. So we built them Mew and Me!
