You settle in. You crack open a book or unfold the newspaper, and within moments there’s a warm, furry body pressed directly onto the page. It happens so reliably that it almost feels deliberate. That’s because, in a meaningful sense, it is. Cat behavior researchers and feline behaviorists have spent years piecing together why domestic...
