Regarding the sleeping: It is not unusual for cats to sleep up to 20 hours a day, especially in winter time.
It is a kind of energy saving mode.
Ah OK.... makes sense then, I guess. At night before going to sleep I get her to leave outside for the night. I don' teven have to kick her out.. I just open the back door that gets to my back yard, and after a few seconds she gets out on her own. I guess after a full day sleeping, she needs some exercise and fresh air, just like a human being does.
It's not too cold here, between zero and 7 degrees at night. She has lots of fat and a thick layer of fur, so single digit figures is a mere chill at best for her...
Besides that, she has chosen you, so maybe she saw something in you which you aren't aware of.
That's very romantic !
... the truth is just she keeps coming back because I keep giving her A TON of treats, for free, every day....
The reason I started feeding her is because last summer, with my windows opened in the evening and night, she would constantly invite herself inside my house, always trying to see if she could steal some food from the kitchen counter, and would not stop licking the floor, every time she saw a fluff, hoping it would be comestible.... so I had an idea : put some treats OUTSIDE, on the window border, so that she would not come inside anymore ! It did work.... for a short while. But then she started to get used to it and come inside anyway, hoping for more, for dessert I guess !
If you can't do anything with it, then look at her this way: Every good electronics lab needs a lab cat and here she is.
If only she could AT LEAST be a cat lab, yeah why not ! But n,ot gonna happen ! Bench is 3 meters away from the bed... I will be dead before she finds the motivation to leave the bed and travel taht "far" to get to the lab bench !
Btw, what's her name?
I don't intend to "keep" her so no name... and it's been too recent an affair for me to looking that.... been only 3 months or so.
For now I just speak cat language with her, works OK. I just meow (she does not meow, or only a single meow once a week maybe...) like I were a cat. For some reason it works decently well. She doesn't look like she understands what I am saying, but it does look like it works well enough that she is at least paying attention and is trying to understand, albeit unsuccessfully.
I know how SHE calls me, though : "hey you, shut up, give me tons of treats quick, and get out of my way ! ".
Something like that...
