Cats do silly things, don\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

\"Chat<\/p>\n

For instance, they will always get between you and what you are trying to read, whether it is from a book, a magazine, a laptop or a tablet. WHY, you might rightly ask?<\/p>\n

Cats are territorial creatures and they like to own things. They especially like to claim as their own things you value. You are giving attention to a book\/newspaper\/laptop? It is worth their attention\u2026or more precisely, their furry body presence. Proof: have you noticed how your cat will never sleep on ANY book except the one you are reading?<\/p>\n

Plus, cats also like you, or what you do for them. Being a couple of centimeters away from the hands that feed\/pet\/love them just seems very convenient to cats. Who knows if you might scratch their ears, right? You probably do it all the time.<\/p>\n

And laptops have a special edge: their warmth. An edge that your belly could also have, if you rather have a cat on your thighs than a cat on your keys.<\/p>\n

What should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this behaviour is cute, when you are trying to get things done, it can be VERY annoying. Hence why you need an extreme measure: a cat trap.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry \u2013 your cat will be THRILLED.<\/p>\n

Just put a cozy box next to your laptop\/book\/etc. with something comfy that smells like you inside, and there you go, your cat will choose this resting spot over anything\u2026as long as you are near.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
