Centre of attention

Every cat knows to do this...

If your hooman is working on something, or looking at something, it is a cat's sacred duty to stand or sit on that thing.

This ensures the hooman's full attention is on us, as the master of our home, and not on something far less important.

Sitting on the thing the hooman is focused on takes patience.
It's possible that, being smaller than your hooman, you will be picked up and moved a few times.

It's important to be persistent and keep returning to sit on that thing, and to look cute too.

It may well be that the hooman makes a huffing noise or says 'for duck's sake', like my hooman sometimes does.

Today I successfully sat on a scrunchy, scratchy paper thing several times.

My hooman said 'Frankie, that's my notes'... but I just blinked at him and made myself into a catty loaf.

He moved me a couple of times, I came back, and he said 'I give up'.

Then he gave me chin scritches.

After a while, I was comfortable, so I curled up on the scrunchy, scratchy thing for a nap.

I occasionally woke up, let out a 'mrrrrp', and let my hooman give me belly rubs.

The main thing was that his focus was on me, and not on something far less important.
