Sometimes though, seeking out enclosed spaces can be a sign your cat is dealing with stress. A stressed cat will look for secure, hidden spots to help restore their sense of calm.
If you suspect that’s what’s happening, resist the urge to dislodge your cat from your clothes, Rollins suggests. And if you know your cat will be stressed by your absence or an upcoming vet visit, try placing a piece of your clothing in their carrier. The familiar scent can provide genuine comfort.
So as it turns out, cats claiming all of your things isn’t random mischief. They’re part of your life and want to be involved in what you’re doing. They like how you smell, they find comfort in your scent, and sitting on your stuff is their way of staying connected to you.
And when they end up accidentally featured on Vinted, they bring that same comfort to everyone else. Hopefully they've done the same for you today.
