Why do cats love lying on laptops?

If you were also curious about why cats love lying on laptops, zoopsychologists have an answer. The main reason is not that it is warm, but that the keyboard smells like you, and by lying on it, cats want to mark their territory. In a way, the pet is asserting its rights to the territory and to you as well. For the same reason, they love lying on other belongings of their owners and rubbing against their legs.
