In 1666 Chocolate milk was invented. I did not realize that chocolate milk has been around for this long. Where I lived there was loud thunder and the rain came down real hard for twenty minutes. Which was nice it cooled everything down for awhile. Now it is 71F. Which is really nice. Dogs sleep for 12 hours a day while a cat sleeps for 18 hours a day. That is where the term catnap comes from.

My cat sleeps 18 hours during the day because at night he sleepwalks, I only hear the noises in the kitchen or in the living room. We cat owners know that he is not a thief and that they are not stealing from us.Not everything that sounds after 12 noon is a spirit, it's just cats, hahaha

Sometimes my cats turn wild and chase each other all over the house at 2 or 3 AM.

The same thing happens in this house. I have three cats. They fight each other as a game. Once they jumped on my bed and I went out all asleep to see who was attacking me and the criminals turned out to be Being the cats now I try not to give myself a bad life

Raining here, too, and at times it looks like Niagara Falls... I'm hoping it stops by the time I have to head out for my dental appointment.

Not a great fan of chocolate. And suffer with lactose intolerance. So no milk. Thank you. I love dogs...they are the ultimate clowns.

I was surprised when I discovered that chocolate milk was invented in Jamaica. I love to watch cat sleeping, they look so peaceful.

Oooh. I haven't experienced a good thunderstorm in a while. I've been reading a series set in Victorian England where they have hot chocolate a lot. That's not as early as 1666, but it's a while ago.

Wow, those dogs and cats have it hard, don’t they. And WE stay up all hours of the day and night to support them!

I didn’t know chocolate milk was that old, either.

Chocolate milk has been around for how long ! I didn’t even realise chocolate was around then. Yeah, cats sleep like forever…..especially if they are sitting in your lap and you need to go to the toilet !

Had no idea chocolate milk was invented way back in 1666. I knew cats slept a lot, but 18 hours is incredible.

I didn't know that about chocolate milk at all. My cat sleeps very little for a cat. He sleeps at night, but during the day he doesn't sleep mire than 4 hours usually. If I go away he will sleep more then.

We have two stray cats in our house. My sister feeds them. I don't know when they sleep and when they get up. As I've seen they both are always super active running here and there.
