Seconded. I taught two of my cats that they can be comfy up there, and one of them will jump up at the first opportunity when I'm tying my shoes or something else that has me kneeling/sitting.

The claws don't hurt too much—she hasn't botched an attempt ...yet—but I still yelp because it does scare the shit out of me every time lmao. I don't even attempt doing anything that could scare her, and instead go straight to my bed and carefully lower myself until she reluctantly disembarks.

BTW cute cat, OP :)
