My big 15# boy is an indoor kitty. Prior to our adoption he was an indoor/outdoor pet. He has a habit of wanting to go for rides in the cat carrier. All I have to do is rattle the carrier and say "come on" and he goes where ever I go as long as I'm not going to be in one place too long. There are times he paws and meows at the cat carrier, we take him around the block to passify him. He sprawls out in the carrier and his eyes are closed so I think it relaxes him. And I agree about the furniture thing mentioned by indy, the objects that we seem to occupy are his first. He's getting to be as much of a bed hog as I am. DH sometimes has to sleep in the recliner because the cat seems to occupy the bed, and we can't disturb him.
