"That project is a goat rodeo. It's like an exercise in herding cats."
------------------------------------
My cat, Oscar, has a problem comprehending naps. OK, let me be more specific. He has absolutely NO problem with naps when HE is the one taking a nap. He has a problem comprehending ME taking a nap. He seems to think that human naps are really a ploy by which I'm indicating that I really want to spend 15-30 minutes petting him.
He will ignore me for hours at a time while perfecting his already well-honed nap technique. However, if I make any indication (and that includes just thinking the thought) I plan on stretching out to take a nap - he is Johnny-on-the-spot to try & convince me to pet him instead. I have seen him wake up from a nap he is taking to walk over & disrupt my attempt to take a nap. Once I give up & get up from my aborted nap attempt, he will walk away, find a comfy place & go back to his nap.
Note: this appears to be a foible of this particular cat. My two previous cats were both overjoyed to see me take a nap. They would join me in the endeavor. We spent many a happy time having a group nap. But not the current cat. I think he does it just to mess with my head.
