The owner says that her cat loves to perch on her hand as seen in the video and does not want to be placed on the floor. The reason is fairly obvious. Cat insists on perching on owner's hand like this. Screenshot. It is a high 'perched' position.

Her cat just wants the facility to climb. To move vertically.

It is the best example I have seen of a hiding place for a frightened cat. She climbs as high as she can, opens the cupboard door and it closes after her. Total security for the amount of time that she needs it.
