(7,346 posts)I wonder if someone put him there or if he hopped up in the chair on his own.
Orange/Ginger/Marmalade/whatever you want to call them tabbies are my favorite. I had one for 18 years and he was quite the character!

OK, here is a story about how I took my cat to an English lit class. I was taking her to the vet, but on the way there was a traffic jam. There was no way I was going to make both the vet and the class, and so I decided to take her to the vet after class.
It was April 1. I wasn't about to leave her in the car for 75", so I took her to class in her cat carrier. I explained the situation to the students, who wanted me to let her out of the carrier. I said OK, as long as we were careful about the door. She was cool about everything--not frightened in the least, and she walked all over the students, much to their amusement.
This was in an amphitheater lecture hall with nice padded chairs. She loved those padded chairs, walking along the backs of the chairs for an entire row.
Realizing it was April 1, I said to the students that when the latecomers showed up, we would pretend the cat did not exist.
Along comes a latecomer. He seats himself and not too much later, my kitty came over to sniff him out. The student is amazed there is a cat in the room. He said, "Professor, did you know there is a cat in the room?" I looked at him and said, "Why Jeremy, did you have a late night? Are you hallucinating? There is no cat." The students all kept a straight face.
Jeremy, stunned, continued to sit there while my cat climbed on his shoulders and whisked her tail around his head.
Not too much later, Jeremy again brought it to my attention that there was a cat in the room. Again, we all disavowed knowledge of any cat.
By this time, my kitty had moved on to other students and Jeremy began to lose it. He jumped up on his chair and yelled, "There's a cat in the room! There's a cat! Can't you see the cat!!!???"
At which point we all sang out, "April Fools!"
It was my best April Fool's joke ever.
