Cats like smells, especially of their familiar humans.
It's actually helpful when I need my cat to be one place instead of another, like when I'm changing my bedsheets. I'll just toss some worn clothes on the floor away from the bed, and she'll quickly go sit on top of them instead. That way I don't have to deal with her jumping into the sheets as I'm putting them on the bed.
This makes a lot of sense. I have smelly feet and a sweaty back, one of my cats loves to rub all over my shoes & backpack.
