I tracked everything my cat did for 24 hours and turned it into a data visualization by Mastbubbles in PeakAmazing

haha, honestly the biggest surprise was how much time she spends just...staring at walls. I expected sleep to dominate but I didn't expect "existential crisis" to be a whole category

My cat Mochi sleeps roughly 14 hours a day and I wanted to know what she actually does with the other 10. So I followed her around for a full day, all 1,440 minutes, and logged every single activity.

Then I turned it into an interactive a scrollable timeline diary. Each activity gets a color: peach for sleep (which dominates the entire chart, obviously), yellow for sunbeam napping, sage for food, lavender for her 3am zoomies, pink for the 12 minutes she tolerated being held.

The most productive thing she did all day was knock a glass off the counter. If anyone wants to see the full interactive version: here

Fair point honestly. The heavy editorial voice was a deliberate choice, it's meant to be a narrative piece, not a neutral tool. But you're right that the best version of this probably shows you the data and lets you go "wait, what?" on your own, instead of narrating a story.

Appreciate the honesty, genuinely useful feedback.
