Is there an instinctual reason?

Cats will sleep on your lap/chest because it reminds them of mama.

Cats will lay/sit on your head because it triggers their parental instinct.

I have a cat who sleeps on my lap, or if my wife is lying down the cat curls up on/around her head.

I guess that means my cat thinks I’m my wife’s grandpa?
