Burning question: What is it about cats and stacks of paper?

It's not stacks of paper. It's anything that can be compelled to yield to the call of gravity -- the more noisily and clutteredly, the better.

No, no, that part I get. It's the sitting that baffles me.

How better to display one's victory?

The paper defines a space. Cats love defined space.

Also, you might actually want to pay attention to the papers, and if the cat sits on them, you must pay attention to the cat, instead. Our longest-lived queen made a point of sitting on whatever one of her humans was reading. It worked :-)

One of ours does that. And she eats paper too. I hope Sarah's don't do that. 8-o

One of them CHEWS paper. His favorite target is the covers of paperback books.

As long as he doesn't chew proofs.......

It's quite simple. Cats were worshiped in Egypt. Paper was invented in Egypt. Therefore, cats sit on paper to remind us that they are meant to be worshiped.

Eureka! It all makes sense now!

Thank you. I have never seen this explained so succinctly. (Except by cats, obviously.)

[heathwitch.livejournal.com]

Brava! I shall have to remember this one -- thank you!
