Smile Why do cats lay on paper?

I know it's a dumb question, but all of my cats will find the tiniest bit of paper and plop their big ol' butts right on top of it. It could be a newspaper, magazine, book, wrapping paper, regular paper, anything, and they'll sit/lay/sleep on it all day. Even if you move the paper, they'll get up and go find it again. And if you're actually trying to read or write on the paper ... forget it. Then they have to be on top of it!

Am I the only one with weirdo cats?

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

I definitely have one of those cats. His favorite place is definitely on the newspaper, but coming in at a close second is a fresh, clean white shirt.

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

My cat does it too. Sometimes I'll just lay paper in the floor especially for him. I definitely think it has to do with the way it sounds and crunches underneath them.

That's too funny!

Luckily, my cats have never been in to toilet paper. My DF had a cat growing up that used to shred it all the time, though. He said if you didn't wake up on time to feed her, she'd shred every roll in the house.

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

James's cat does this!

But then so does my dog. You put the newspaper down and he sits straight on it. Try moving a 40kg labrador off your paper!

That's exactly what my cat does. I'll be reading the newspaper on my bed and then Solomon's big ol' butt has to sit down right in the middle of it! Even if I move the paper, 2 seconds later, he's sitting in the middle again!

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

I don't have any cats, but my dog loves toliet paper. She will take it off the roll and run through the house with it, leaving a lovely trail of toliet paper.

When I dogsat my brother's puppy, she would get in the bathroom trashcan and eat the toliet paper. She would eat/chew on anything. I swear that dog was the dog from hell!! lol

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

my cats dont sit on paer but one of them eats it all the time and the other one sits on top of the toilet flush and knocks the roll into the water which is really annoying because if you get up in the middle of the night and use the toilet and dont realise there is a full roll down there ,well i will leave the rest to your imagination...................

Re: Why do cats lay on paper?

My cat does that too! His favorite spot is on the newspaper, while you are trying to read it. But otherwise, he will find any piece of paper, whether it's on the floor or otherwise, and sit or lay on it. I just thought he was a great big dork. Well.... he is, but at least not for that. LOL

My cats love laying down any kind of paper: newspaper, important docs, bills, toilet paper, paper bags, books..... It's so funny to watch them!
