Why does the cat sleep on my backpack?

A recent picture of my varmint in the back yard. She doesn’t usually have her eyes all squinty like that - I think this picture looks funny because she looks so pugnacious.

I think that the problem is a typo in your question. You say “my” backpack. It is not yours, it is the cat’s…

Heh, I came to post Maru too.

My cat also sleeps on my backpack or my laptop bag. The moment either of them go down on a flat surface, she’s curled up on them. Could it be size - they’re roughly kitty-sized and that could be related to something in nature? Texture too, maybe: they may prefer a canvas surface due to its heat capacity.

Maru has his own blog =)
