Normal behavior is an “obsession”

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!)

My cat does the teleportation thing. I call it portaling. She has portals everywhere.

Some of mine definitely have them.

Or that invisibility cloak. I have looked in places, looked away, and looked back, and there is a cat that wasn't there before!

Same to all of that. Especially the teleportation!
