My own personal thought is that when we are reading and relaxed, we produce more steady brain wave activity in the 7-14 cycle frequency. (During active times we fluctuate all through the 5-30+ cycle range.) Cats normally remain in that 7-14 cycle frequency at all times, and so feel more akin to us when we are too. Same reason cats will usually want to sit on a person when they meditate. I'm just guessing here. Anyone else have an idea?

I think it has something to do with the face we make whilst reading. Particularly that we are not doing the cat threatening thing by looking at them with open eyes. My cat is worst when I am on the phone and to two people in particular, my mother and my best friend.
Mr M wants to sit on me the most when I am at the computer and when I am on the loo!
