What’s a thing all cats love to do? Climb onto anything belonging to their hoomans and claim it as their own. 

If I had a dollar for every single time my cat has jumped over my dining room chairs, my table, my kitchen countertops, my couch, or my bed, I’m telling you, I would retire tomorrow without having to ever work a single day in my life ever again. And I’m betting that is the case for many, if not all, of you out there, cat pawrents. 

At this point, my chairs have become my cat’s property. She sleeps there all the time, and the pillows are covered in her fur. I’m just grateful that she learned not to sharpen her claws on those chairs; otherwise, I would have to replace them in a week, and they’re made of solid wood. They’re not exactly cheap. She has a specific place to sharpen her claws, and though it took some time for her to scratch random pieces of furniture, eventually she learned to scratch in a specific place without ruining anything. Kudos to my furball for understanding instructions. 

The thing with cats is that they believe everything belongs to them: chairs, pillows, couches, clothes, the house, or whatever, and they will never hesitate to claim those things by sitting on top of them. Here’s a collection of cat photos of cats that picked a spot and sat there to rule the world from a comfortable chair.
