When it comes to cats, they will treat everything as if it were a possible seat.
There is a lot we can learn from our dogs. They have a special affection for their house since they are always there while we are in it.

Every surface is seen as a potential resting spot for cats. If the environment is pleasant enough, they will rest wherever they like. So long as it doesn’t fall, they’re having a great time lounging on their scratching post.
