My Winter jacket has been confiscated and repurposed as a cat bed

I hung it on the back of a kitchen chair after I finished snow blowing the drive and walk ways. I just walked into the kitchen to see that Madoc pulled if OFF of the chair because it seems he needed some place comfy to lounge. He is just too cute for words.

I wish all animals, including farm and wild, could have such good lives.

Two of our cats, a brother-sister pair who are no longer with us, customarily sat with their paws crossed, and always with the left paw on top, just like in Madoc’s picture.

The sister was a dainty little lynx point Siamese, and she looked ever-so-elegant and ladylike in that pose.

And then he gets up on the loveseat, sits like a human would, and proceeds to lick his balls.

The outside of the bag is rougher in texture, but usually she likes the plush blankets instead.

My current cat will take over my seat at the kitchen table if I get up for more than a minute or so. Then he gives me that, "this is my chair now" look.
Doesn't work.

After I finally got him out of the chair and sat in it myself, he would jump onto the chair seat behind me and push hard against my back, trying to force me off.

My current cat is just the opposite. When she sees me coming, she jumps down to let me have the space.

Not pulling them off chairs, but sitting on them.

I once did a test in which I put it in a pile on their breakfast table to see if he would find it and sit on it, and he not only sat on it, but fell asleep.
