It happens all the time, as soon as I start reading the newspaper, my cat, Mollie will jump up and sit right on top of the section that I’m reading. When I encourage her to move, she gets angry, meows and gives me a swat! I guess she doesn’t like the fact that I’m paying attention to the newspaper and not to her.  Unless of course, I’m reading the section that she wanted to read! There’s really no answer to this question. Maybe it just feels good but I think it’s because that she wants to get into the act. Cats also like the way paper sounds. Put a paper bag on the floor and your cat will love going inside of it and making noise. So before you go out and spend lots of money on cat toys, consider a paper bag and don’t forget to let your cat read the “kitty” section of the newspaper or you may just get swatted!
