REply to a post about WHILE

Help me please?

From what I understand The poster said he'd use the former rather than the latter, but wouldn't you use the latter. the latter sound better. Which would you say here : THe cat miaowed while it walked/The cat walked while it miaowed.

the former or latter?

What If I say "John sleeps while he sings", or "John sings while he sleeps"(although the latter may actually happen). what kind of mental message do you receive?

how would say this please?

1 The new nanny imposed rules on how to live everyday.

thanks
