Because your vulnerable and they are guarding you. They do it for other cats in their clutter as well.

yeah i've got one that is, uh, unpredictable. she likes to play too much and we have not successfully trained her not to pounce on the big dumb one when he's pooping. it's been years. so we have to guard him sometimes. now he guards us too.

First read through, I assumed "big dumb one" was a human from your cat's pov, and the mental image of the other people and cats guarding a large man from a kitten so he can poop in peace was hilarious.
