Went for a 5.7km run this morning. Was slightly hungover. Felt alright in the end. Once again, doggo just trotted along beside putting me to shame.

Serious question here.

How do cats and dogs maintain physical fitness even tho they sit on their little fluffy arses all day? Especially cats.

Cats in general have evolved to sleep for long periods to conserve energy for hunting. Big Cats will sleep for 17 - 18 hours before going on a hunt and modern house cats haven't lost this need for rest. This is basically why cats get the zoomies periodically.
