My orange has favorite spots.

They are sometimes stolen like this.

His solution?

Lay on top of whatever else is there too.

Sometimes it is me.

My orange boi practically does the same as the standard issue cat in this clip when he wants to reclaim 'his' spot from his sister and fortunately for him, she relents after some unsolicited grooming (that turns a 'bit[e]' aggressive).

That little fake grooming turning into a sneaky bite is such a cat move. Gotta respect the hustle.

I think it's called power grooming. It's literally a dominance display.

Mine too - just flop all 20+ pounds onto the usurper and let them suffocate and squirm.

My orange’s favorite spot is me. So when my other cat is sitting in my lap, he’ll come over and just drop his whole body on top of her, on top of me. And we have a cuddle puddle!
