He won't sit on a couch next to me or by himself. He might hang out with me on my bed but 80% of the time he's on the floor.

Is he hot?

Is he sad?

Can I do something to help him?

He's 2 btw

Update: it was just anxiety, he's new in my house, not sure what his rules are.. he feels much more comfy now ♥️

Some cats are floor cats

Just like some people are couch people and other people are chair people

Get him a cardboard box. He's sad because there are no cardboard boxes.

He has one, he just doesn't sit in it

Then he is an imposter disguised as a cat sent to infiltrate your life. No real cat can resist a box.

I have two cats. One loves boxes, even when they're tiny, if it fits a paw, she has to try it. The other one hates them, and he's always been a grumpy old man with a very strange personality. I've never considered him a real cat lol

Perfectly normal, each cat is different.

Some cats just like the floor. Not all cats like being on squishy surfaces either. Mine hates the bed whenever we stay somewhere with a western bed, but if I put a food tray I got for a $1 from goodwill next to me you can bet his ass will be there lol.

I have two cats. Both sleep on sofas as well as the floor. Cats are the divine incarnate. They can do as they please.

Absolutely normal. Kitty just likes to stay grounded.

cats have a different idea of comfort than humans do.

Jackson Galaxy Cat Daddy says some cats are tree cats and others are bush dwellers. So if cat prefers the floor I suggest fancy rugs and cat beds and cat scratchers all on the floor.

he's straight chillin'

Mine refuses to use a cat tree. I always heard cats like to be high up, but not mine. He likes his bed on the floor, and rarely gets on a chair or couch if I'm not there.

Is it carpet or stone kind of hard floor? Does he sploot a lot?

When they lay on their belly with their legs all splayed out.
