Unflappable, nonchalant, calm - cats give us a great example of how to chill out, especially when some of us treat them like a delicate zen bonsai project to decorate.

Seriously, how are cats so calm? Sure, they're not always calm. Some cats catch the zoomies in ungodly hours of the night, going absolutely berserk while parkouring on your ceiling. Some cats can not zip their treat hole for all hours of the day, screaming to get pets, snacks, and to be let in and out freely. It's true that some cats are crazy. But some cats are more zen than a Buddhist monk doing meditation alone in the mountains of Mongolia. They can be so calm that you can stack random stuff on them, and they'd still be completely unfazed. But how?

We think it might be because the cat craze and the cat calm are interconnected. Just think about it… with the example of toddlers. Parents know - when you want to get your 4-year-old to be zonked out when bedtime arrives, you need to spend all their energy during the day. And that's a lot of energy. Well, cats do sleep longer, but what if that's because they craze out all the time when they're awake?

There's not one conclusive answer. But what there is - it's evidence. And we bring it here in the form of silly cat pictures with things stacked on them for you to scientifically analyze. Or, you know, just enjoy and laugh about.
