This is also getting off-topic, but when I see these cats seated regally on the go board, I am reminded of this story:

If there is a forum member living in or near Talkeetna, perhaps they could donate a board for His Mayorship to use.
And the go-fever which is more real than many doctors’ diseases, waked and raged...

I think cats always want to take part in the activities you're interested in. If you're sitting in front of the computer a lot, they're going to come and sit on your keyboard or mousepad. If you're reading comic books, they are going to sit in the middle of the comic books. And if you happen to play with a go board a lot, they are going to sit on the go board. An exercise to the reader: Try to guess what happens when you sit on the couch with a new boy-/girlfriend :P.

Oh, and cats just like sitting on things, as a rule.
Or inside cardboard boxes. The smaller the better :D

They pee on your clothes if you leave them on the floor. My (now) favorite cat, who I'd regularly been around for a year, still peed on my clothes the first time I left clothes at my girlfriend's (now wife's) apartment.
