The answer is "Because she's a cat"

[Amrapaali]

The question: "Why would you nap right next to a comfy, fluffy blanket and not on top of it?"

Care to add any other questions about your cat's contrariness? The answer is always the same BTW (see title)

Why would you turn yourself into a pretzel to fit into that manky old cardboard box when there is a perfectly lovely, comfy, right size cat bed to use?

why would you sleep in any bed or box when there is that lovely shoulder and pillow to lean heavily on? All warm too....

why would you turn your nose up and flounce off when the dinner on offer was your favourite thing in the world yesterday?

Loving the catitude

Why would you sit looking disgusted outside the back door when there is a perfectly serviceable cat flap in that very door?

Why do you ask to go out via the back door when you’ve just asked to go out via the front door but declined because it’s raining?

She's beautiful

Why do you cry at the front door and then run off when I open it.

But also why are you so flipping adorable?!

Why would you investigate every single parcel that arrives?

Ha ha thanks @TaraR2020- And she knows it too, cheeky madam!

I can't make up my mind if cats are incredibly haughty and contrary. Or just amazingly dim

As seen elsewhere, why would you sleep on the games table when you have multiple cat nests and even a human bed on offer.

Why would you sit outside the front door meowing piteously and not come in on the multiple occasions the door is opened for you? To the point that a neighbour knocks saying “I think your cat wants to be in”? And it’s then you choose to dash inside, leaving your poor human looking incredibly cruel?

Why would you stay out in the rain, decapitating a frog and eating half its insides, yet refuse to even try the very expensive gourmet food on offer inside in the warm. And then when you do deign to come inside, behave like it’s somehow my fault that you are soaking wet (and smell like 🐸) and you’re starving.

Now she's napping on top of DD's amplifier

I swear she is doing it to rile me up. Cats- bah!

Also I'm nodding strongly at @PhoboPhobia's second question

Why do you sit outside the lounge window in the rain howling when you know there's a cat flap around the corner? Why do you try pretend your human staff are neglecting you?, Why do you run off when I call you in from the rain?!

@TheLongRider looks like you've made the games table comfy with extra insulation. Your cat has trained you well! [slow clap]

Why do you refuse to use the new scratching post and continue to use the old manky one?

Why do you run up to do a huge stinky job in the litter tray seconds after I've cleaned it?

And add insult to injury by kicking the litter around?

Why do you wait until I start packing my offshore bag before choosing it for a bed

@Amrapaali

Mine would never poo outside, always ran in to do it in the litter tray then left with a huge smirk on their face as if to say "Well you said not to poo in gardens, deal with it!"

Why would you want to sit in here??

Why would you use my sofa as scratching post when you have four ACTUAL scratching posts to choose from, including half of the sofa which we turned INTO a scratching post to stop you destroying it?!

@HiGunny that is hilarious!!!

Why do you refuse your perfectly fine cat food that both your brothers eat and then steal human food off the children?
