From warm laptop keyboards to freshly folded laundry — is it love, power, or just perfect timing?
🪑 1. It’s Warm. End of Story.
Cats are heat-seeking nap missiles. If your seat is still warm from your body, it’s instantly more attractive than a cold cat bed in the corner.
They’ll steal your spot on the couch, keyboard, freshly folded laundry pile… and no, they’re not sorry.
💡 Tip: This is why Purr Nook’s jellyfish cat tree has plush, body-warming fabrics—approved by cats like Happy (who never shares his seat).
😼 2. It Smells Like You (a.k.a. It’s Safe)
Your scent is familiar, comforting, and calming. To your cat, your seat isn’t just warm — it smells like home.
When they sit where you sat, they’re curling up in your invisible hug.
👑 3. They’re Claiming Territory (and You’re Included)
By sitting where you were, your cat is subtly mixing its scent with yours.
It’s a form of bonding — and also lowkey a power move:
“This is mine. And also, you are mine.”
💡 Coffee does this often. She’ll sit on your keyboard, stare into your soul, and dare you to move her.
🤭 4. They Love the Drama
Let’s be honest: cats love making you get up… and then stealing your spot.
It’s mischievous, dramatic, and a little bit hilarious.
The moment you hover awkwardly, deciding whether to sit back down or not — they’ve already won.
🐱 So... What Can You Do About It?
Honestly? Probably nothing. And would you really want to?
Instead, give them their own perfect spot that’s warm, elevated, soft, and oh-so-inviting.
💡 That’s why we created the jellyfish cat tree — so your cat stops stealing your seat and starts loving their own.
💬 What’s the weirdest place your cat has stolen from you?
Your chair? Your pillow? The sink?
