Multitasking Cats (Not)

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Layla Morgan Wilde

Cats don’t need to be told to relax, take a break and enjoy life. Cats don’t multitask (despite the sillyInternet pics). Cats are masters of focusing on one thing at a time. Today’s post is piggy-backed from our sister site Boomer Muse and about multitasking myth-busting. Don’t be fooled by Gris Gris gazing longingly at the tea. Two seconds later he caught a whiff of his bounty: a piece of smoked salmon. He was rewarded with a little piece of salmon for teaching me to pause, reflect and enjoy.

   Catnip tea sounds wonderful.

   Think I could have a bite of spider plant to go with that?

   Hey, I can multitask – I’ll just put a bit of each in my mouth at once!

   Excellent point! And I’ve tried stretching and enjoying the view like a cat, and it is very relaxing. I LOVE your new website design at your sister site. Beautiful!

   I am actually starting to take inspiration from my two non-multitaskers. I sometimes just take a weekend day and do nothing but the bare minimum…bath,eat,sleep,feed the cats….
   Tea for two would be wonderful in the garden with you Gris Gris. Non multitasking purrs Skeeter and Izzy >^,,^<

   The closest my crew comes to multitasking is chewing a mouse toy whilst bunnykicking the ESS! Salem is famous for it.

    Yum. It would be surprising to see a multitasking cat. Love the tea pot (mais oui) and the cream cheese, bagel and lox. Reminds me to order one in Montreal. I will go to St. Viatur and Fairmount both for a taste test. I used to go only to St. V but now we got to F.

    have to find my single-tasked cats. In bed. Nite!
