Not sure what’s going on but whenever I sit in the chair in my home office area, Sencha would come by and start scratching at all of the furniture. Eg. He’d scratch at the drawers next to me or the cabinet beside me or even the wall.

He doesn’t seem to just want attention since if I pet him too much he will start trying to bite my hand but if I stop he will go back to scratching at things.

Last night he was doing this and I gave him some food. But after eating it he came back and started scratching again.

If I sit anywhere else in the hoose he will leave me alone. It’s just this chair/area.

Stumped. Recent photo for cat tax.

Edit: Oh yeah I tried putting him on my desk as well when he does this but he just switches to pawing at my hand while on my desk.

    Since posting this I started to think more about what was actually happening.

    So basically he only acts strange when I sit in a particular spot in the hoose.

    I ruled out all of the basic needs so unless it’s something medical it doesn’t seem to be related to a need.

    Thus I have to consider the area itself. I think he simply doesn’t want me to be there.

    I then considered why. What type of activities did I engage in when I sat at my desk?

    One of the activities that I only engage in at my desk is attend work meetings.

    I wonder if that is the cause. He doesn’t like it when he hears the voices of strangers. Furthermore I’ve observed him getting annoyed whenever I’m on the phone with anyone, even off loud speaker.

    This is my best theory so far.

      Maybe your PC / peripherals emits a certain frequency that only he can hear and it stresses him a lot

        I guess that’s possible? But when I’m at my desk sometimes my computer isn’t even on. When I work I only use my laptop so my desktop is usually off. I work with my laptop in multiple spots in the house.

        If it was a problem with my laptop I woukd imagine he’d bother me in other spots around the house as well.

        I understand though that just because a computer is off does not necessarily mean it’s quiet. The peripherals could still be receiving power, etc. I would be difficult to test this theory though without a lot of effort. I guess ai coulf unplug everything.
