The greatest hits

Knocking things off tables: part curiosity, part play, part getting your attention.

If it fits, I sits: boxes feel safe and snug, and small spaces help cats feel secure.

Sitting on your keyboard: it’s warm, it’s where you are looking, and it gets results.

The 3 a.m. zoomies: cats are most active around dawn and dusk, and sometimes that energy just bursts out.

Bringing you “gifts”: a hunting instinct — and, many believe, a show of trust.

Ignoring the expensive bed for the box it came in: see “if it fits, I sits.”

Stealing your hat the second you put it down: we take this one as a compliment.
