A modelled domestic cat (Felis catus) is simulated over one solar day. Its
rest–activity architecture is then inverted into a sleep and intake schedule for the operator.
The cat is not real. The schedule is issued regardless.

Model parameters
Noon-anchored day plot
The same 24 hours unrolled from noon to noon, per actigraphy convention, so the nocturnal
block reads contiguously rather than split across midnight.
Prescription schedule
Every issued window, with the feline observation it was derived from.
