That’s also a great explanation. And the cat indeed looks sad…
The cat who did it passed away years ago, but my rice cooker has a permanent dent in the bowl part because of her.
It's funny how something so annoying is a fond reminder years later. As I'm shoving the bowl in since it doesn't quite fit without fussing, now, I'm remembering all the funny stuff she got into over her lifetime.
Pounce, you were the best.
If it fits..
How could I forget this law of cat!
...it murders you in your sleep.
I think I've figured this out, and my explanation even extends to boxes, squares and anything else cats like to sit in.
Every cat has an invisible Lakitu with a camera flying around them, giving them a 3rd person view of themselves. The cat, well aware of how good they look, uses this to arrange themselves in the most aesthetically pleasing way.
They fits
so they sits.
My theory is it looks and feels like a box to them?
A box with a heater, no less
My cats know where the pipes for the radiators are under the floor
At first glance I thought it was a cat commode.
Let the poop covered rice on "keep warm" setting for anther 10 minutes ...
