Yes, somehow confusing. Maybe that's why it sounds to me like it means

"I sit because of the cat which is seeing on the branch."
(the cat is on the branch)

I would change the word order to get the different intended meaning:

{leghbogh vIghro'mo' bartIqDaq jIba'.}
"I sit in the branch because of the seeing cat"
or
{bartIqDaq jIba' leghbogh vIghro'mo'.}
"I sit in the branch because of the seeing cat"

because I think the rule says that the locative must precede the
sentence (here: the verb ba') and the -mo' part is a different clause
[forgot the name] that stands separately.

But I think i'm drifting off the original qestion.
