I find that my cat wants to be up high, he gets on the table too and looks around to see if I'm looking, as soon as I yell at him he gets down tho, but he goes in the sewing room and climbs up on the shelves and lays there. He tries to lay on the pourch rail of but it's too narrow so we put up a small square board in the corner for him, he can lay on it an look down at his kingdom! (we're on pilings)
