Kira always sits in MY seat...

[Anthony8858]

I've noticed that every time I get up from the sofa, comfy chair, my truck or car, or any other seat (that Kira can fit), Kira will stop what she's doing, and go sit in my spot, until I return.
When I do return, she gets up, and goes back to wherever she was prior.

I didn't really make to much of it, until yesterday.
I had a truck filled with my family. I had my wife in front, three kids in the back seat, with Coconut, and Kira way in the back area of the truck.
I stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get some hot chocolates for the kids.
As soon as I exited the truck, Kira worked her way to my driver's seat, and just sat there.... waiting.
My wife was like... WTF?? LOL She thought it was hysterical.

I took these pictures with my cellphone, while waiting on line at the DD.

She doesn't want your seat to get cold

. Just a few moments ago......

I'm sitting on the end of my sofa, with my laptop. Kira is laying on the floor across the room.
I get up to have a second cup of coffee, Kira gets up, jumps on the sofa, and curls up exactly where I was just sitting.
I get my coffee, walk back, she gets up, and goes back on the floor.

Very strange.

I wonder what she's thinking?

I really don't know, but I hope someone doesn't come in this thread and say it's a bad thing, I think it's cute. I hate it when cuteness becomes a bad behavior
The only thing I could think of is that she's protecting your spot so nobody else takes it until you get back? Has your wife or kids tried to take "your spot" from her... there isn't an issue, is there?

If the wife or kids move her, she'll move. No problems, or any sign of guarding.
Sometimes, she'll run to the spot, let out a loud moan, and just spread out, and go to sleep.

Hmmm then I just chalk it up as Kira's cuteness

SInce you have kids I will get on my bandwagon.
Kira needs to be crated or belted in a vehicle.
The dangers are obvious

Why would she need to be crated just because he has kids?

Glad you mentioned this. Kira likes to stay in the back of the truck. On ocassion, she'll lay on the back seat.
I was looking into one of those dividers, that separate the rear from access to the front of the vehicle.
I have a crate that fits back there, and would work, but I would prefer to give her a little more space to look around.

you can buy a dog restraint at any pet food shop. Used like any other seat belt . If you stop suddenly you don't have a dog careening around , you also don't have interference or distraction for the driver.
