Looks like there’s a decent-sized cat tree back there; no shorter than the chair, certainly.
IME with cats, they want to sit on everything. Mantelpiece? Chair back? Ottoman? They’re not satisfied until they have a chance to sit on every surface. I also feel as if the place that gives them the best view on you is whatever’s preferred at any given moment, unless it’s too much trouble to move.
