The reasons for this? Firstly, it helps socialize the human. Humans, you may have noticed, like to stare at a cat. This is very rude and should not be permitted. Slowly blink your eyes and encourage her to do the same. Gradually she will learn polite cat behaviour.
While you sit on the human, she is unable to move. Preferably she should concentrate totally on the cat during this activity.
It is a good time for her to engage in a soft grooming activity such as stroking or brushing. The more loose fur she can remove, the less remains to cause furballs.
Sitting on your human has a beneficial calming psychological effect for the human too.
Tame your human by draping over her. I am so big that only the front parts of me can fit on my human’s lap, so I rest comfortably on the couch and place my front paws on her.
