Proof cats are solar powered

This Japanese time-lapse video shows how cats follow the sun. My own kitties are right now lounging in the sun charging up their batteries so they can gallop around the house like maniacs later.

When one of mine sits in a sunbeam it seems like it takes less than a minute for their fur to get quite warm, almost hot to the touch.
