Why do cats sleep on paper?

Asked by angus (27points) November 8th, 2006
I've always wondered this; given the choice, every cat I've owned has chosen to lie down on a piece of paper. Is it something about the texture?

I think it's because you're usually trying to read something on the piece of paper, meaning you're not paying attention to the cat, which is obviously unacceptable.

I think they think they're gaurding something important. You never know, it might suddenly fly away.

I think how it holds warmth. At one time, newspaper was used in walls as insulation.

Paper is a good insulator.

Also, cats like to sit in boxes and on squares :)
