Felis catus
Free-ranging cats are active both day and night, although they tend to be slightly more active at night. The timing of Cats' activity is quite flexible and varied, which means that house cats may be more active in the morning and evening (crepuscular behavior), as a response to greater human activity at these times. Although they spend the majority of their time in the vicinity of their home, HouseCats can range many hundreds of meters from this central point, and are known to establish territories that vary considerably in size, in one study ranging from 7 to 28 hectares. Cats conserve energy by sleeping more than most animals, especially as they grow older. The daily duration of sleep varies, usually 12–16hours, with 13–14hours being the average. Some Cats can sleep as much as 20hours in a 24-hour period. The term "cat nap" for a short rest refers to the Cat's tendency to fall asleep (lightly) for a brief period. While asleep, Cats experience short periods of rapid eye movement sleep often accompanied by muscle twitches, which suggests that they are dreaming.
Cats are a cosmopolitan species and are found across much of the world.
I was coming home and saw this cat in a pipe. But, without fanfare, he wasn't stuck there, just "walking a little", is a open pipe.
