my roomate's cat is getting more and more persistant with his amorous advances towards my kitty. he has gone from being easily swished out of the doorway with a shooing motion to slinking in and sniffing about to full-fledged stalking in and climbing onto my bed in pursuit of my cat. the dropping-the-towel-over-his-head trick wore out remarkably quickly, and i am now resorting to attempting to sweep him out with the broom, of which he is rather frightened. just now, he crawled under my bed and started settling on top of my spare mattress, and i had to roll the thing halfway out to startle him into bolting.
my cat takes him with a grain of salt at times, and hisses in a lazy sort of way. at other times, she turns and runs (which prompts her mother to scold, stand your ground! smack him!). occasionally, she gets really pissed off and looks like she might just rear up and swat, but she has yet to do so. i wish she would. this protecting-my-young thing is getting exasperating ... not to mention keeping the litter box in my damn bedroom.
