"Cat nap" means "Power nap" means "Wake up Raring To Go!"

"'Cat nap'" takes its origin from how cats take a series of naps throughout the day and night."
sleep365.com

Which is what I'm doing later in life. At least twice a day. Always awaken refreshed, rejuvenated, my mind clear and ready to resume thinking. Our cat
KC is like that, only he takes many more naps.

Yawn, time to get up

Raring to go, especially when Shadow's after you!

I wish I could nap like that. My cat doesn't have much respect for my sleeping skills and he's right. Walleye Nov 2025 #1
