its a dirty word isn't it ..... why are we all conditioned to think that its so bad. IS it ?

I've been watching my cat lately and he's the laziest mose useless lump in the whole world.

He sleeps 19 hours a day, comes to the kitchen twice a day to fill his belly and once upon a time, many many moons ago, he caught a leaf in the garden and brought it inside, somehow mistaking it for a mouse.

The thing is though, he's content, more content that you can ever possible imagine. He's happy with his laziness, he knows there's nothing wrong with it

I intend to mimic him for the rest of my entire life. That is all.

Will you be catching leaves in the garden Jackal?
Will you nip over the neighbours fence to crap on their flowerbeds? That might have an unsettling effect on your relationship with them.

If you put the food in the cats bowl.... who is going to put food in oyurs, 'cos it aint going to be the cat.


ETA, have you considered he may also be content because he can lick his own bks. Quite a trick to master I'm told.

Is that all, blimey, I always said to my OH, if our cat ever died in her sleep, we wouldn't know for a few days until she started to smell, cats must be the lazyiest animals on this earth with regard to sleep.

I used to put ours out, (Because she never made the move herself), she would run into the garage, and sit there until I went out for her......

But they are lovley arn't they.

A little bit of laziness isnt such a bad thing...

..if it wasnt for this place I'd be hitting deadlines and targets left, right and center - it would make the rest of the company look like a right shower of st!

Now I've justified my laziness: time for tea & toast and possibly a stroll around the girls on the 9th floor cloud9

It's not that difficult; give him a few 'Munchies' and he should let you.

Our neighbours cat isn't lazy. It routinely manages to summon up the strength to climb up onto the roof of the convertible I occasionally borrow and vomit all over it.

Why my car? There are other convertibles in our parking area. And why is it only the rag top? Every fking time I use that Saab that disgusting bag of hair and puke emits the contents of it's stomach onto it.

Cats can afford to be lazy, what with them having nine lives.

Those of us with just the one might feel more need to do something with it.

Well, a cat doesn't have to work to keep a roof over its head.

Our dogs are as bad, leave them unattended in the living room and you'll come back to find a tri-colour pile asleep on the sofa

Cats and animals in general will only do what is neccessary to survive.
Stop feeding the moggie you will have a good mouser. Or a dead catsmile

Laziness as a trait, I manage to eek out a living by not doing too much.
I blame this on my Mother who once told me "You are not cut out for work"
I took this as advice, it was in fact critisism.

I'd be content if I had someone to feed me whenever I wanted plus provide warmth when I'm cold but let me go out on the tiles when I'm bored.

Its not that difficult to lick your own gonads, its not falling off the couch and having to go to casualty because your leg is dislocated(from being beside your head) thats the real ball ache!!!
