From warm laptop keyboards to freshly folded laundry â is it love, power, or just perfect timing?
đȘ 1. Itâs Warm. End of Story.
Cats are heat-seeking nap missiles. If your seat is still warm from your body, itâs instantly more attractive than a cold cat bed in the corner.
Theyâll steal your spot on the couch, keyboard, freshly folded laundry pile⊠and no, theyâre not sorry.
đĄ Tip: This is why Purr Nookâs jellyfish cat tree has plush, body-warming fabricsâapproved by cats like Happy (who never shares his seat).
đŒ 2. It Smells Like You (a.k.a. Itâs Safe)
Your scent is familiar, comforting, and calming. To your cat, your seat isnât just warm â it smells like home.
When they sit where you sat, theyâre curling up in your invisible hug.
đ 3. Theyâre Claiming Territory (and Youâre Included)
By sitting where you were, your cat is subtly mixing its scent with yours.
Itâs a form of bonding â and also lowkey a power move:
âThis is mine. And also, you are mine.â
đĄ Coffee does this often. Sheâll sit on your keyboard, stare into your soul, and dare you to move her.
đ€ 4. They Love the Drama
Letâs be honest: cats love making you get up⊠and then stealing your spot.
Itâs mischievous, dramatic, and a little bit hilarious.
The moment you hover awkwardly, deciding whether to sit back down or not â theyâve already won.
đ± So... What Can You Do About It?
Honestly? Probably nothing. And would you really want to?
Instead, give them their own perfect spot thatâs warm, elevated, soft, and oh-so-inviting.
đĄ Thatâs why we created the jellyfish cat tree â so your cat stops stealing your seat and starts loving their own.
đŹ Whatâs the weirdest place your cat has stolen from you?
Your chair? Your pillow? The sink?
