lol, Asia does the same thing, some time he'll stop and sit on it.
I think he's looking for my attention, I give him a few pats and move him along
I personally think it's a lost cause to stop him from doing it
Unless if i want to just remove him and put him down on the floor each and every time he does it but then on second thought i tried that he just jumped back up
So i just keep patting him and moving him along
good luck Jilly let me know if you find away
