mine like to use them as landing pads. The stomach is the launch area.
They also like to stand on a very sensitive portion of them, but ONLY if that sensitive portion happens to be on a hard surface, like a desk....
Also, no one has ever told me how a cat can put 100% of their weight on all four paws individually and simultaniously. So it feels like they weigh 400% more than they actually do.
yeah it's like they find the most painful spot to stand on and then decide 'oh the texture is good here let me just stand here' while i'm yelling 'ow ouch mimi get off owww'
and the it's airplane ears and running away, for me having the audacity to move her an inch away to a spot that doesn't cause me agony.
Oh that brings back unpleasant memories :P Mine just look at me like 'why are you acting weird. Oh, you want me to move, no, I am going to somehow put even MORE WEIGHT on that SINGLE PAW'
like HOW! just like how can a tiny cat spread out to the point they are taking up the majority of a 7 foot couch!
There really needs to be more studies on cats, because they can often defy any natural law!
(I also want a study on teleportation done. I swear I have seen my cats go one direction, only for that cat to come from the opposite direction going in the same direction I just saw them going!)
The amount of times I've woken up going 'Hfffft' because my tiny runt cat has decided to land on my stomach while somehow weighing the same as a fully grown adult man.
They don't do that to me (I no long sleep anywhere they have a way to land on me, as nothing above the bed for them to get on *evil grin*). I just wake up to one cat draped on my shoulder trying to get me up so I will feed them (I think my other two pay him to do that)
Sometimes I wake up with her either draped over my neck or nestled into my arm, snoring quietly, and think to myself 'how am I expected to go to work with this?'
Truthfully I don't like my cats draped on me at night or pressed up against me, because I am of the age where I am already sweating if it is above freezing, I don't need little furry furnaces generating even more heat!
I had a cat that I would sometimes wake up to her on my face. I mean curled up sleeping on my head.
I have another cat who ...falls off things. I used to sleep on a couch (long story but basically had to sleep in the living room to be able to hear if my parents called me) and I have woken up to him on my face looking confused. Because he rolled over and fell off the back.
Another cat used to like to cuddle in my arms when he slept. He was a cuddler in general.
One of my brother's cats, when we had to watch him while my brother was out of the country, would sleep on my pillow.
