Cat Clause By Proxy

Similar to the Cat Clause but the cat isn't physically on you.

For example the cat is sleeping next to you, and moving or getting up would disturb it.

"Sorry I can't get up, my cat is sleeping next to me and if I move it will stop being cute and return to being a menace"

"I can't get out of my room, my cat is sleeping in front of the door and I seem to be in a Cat Clause By Proxy"
