[Camouflaged by bars of darker color against light, the mighty hunter stalks its prey. Silent footsteps carry him across the carpeted floor of the darkened room. He pauses to evaluate his approach. Then he gathers himself, and with a panther's grace attacks, pinning his opponent's legs!]

Hal, go to sleep.

Get it a toy to chew on. One that's not your feet.

[cal_sitter]

Attempted. He's a cat. Ergo, anything intended as a toy is to be ignored. Thank you for the suggestion.

[justashow]

Catnip?

[cal_sitter]

You're advocating drug use?

[twinned]

You realise cats like that can't open doors, don't you?

[cal_sitter]

You realize cats like that can bang on doors, don't you?

[twinned]

Cats are pretty smart. Ignore them for a few days and they'll figure out it's a waste of time.

[cal_sitter]

Unfortunately, he's bored.

A spray bottle?

Although Edel and Gent like it when I wiggle my toes under the blankets...

[cal_sitter]

I don't think he requires his playmate to be moving right now, or he'd leave me alone.

[whatsapersia]

Spray bottle, then.

Or you could buy a really expensive toy, throw it out and give them the box.

[cal_sitter]

That last may be the most sensible suggestion yet.

It's empty, Robin, but if you put it at the edge of a counter, knocking it over to see if it makes noise might amuse him for a full thirty seconds.

I could fill it for you. Should Hal decide to make me a target for the moment, the sink has an extension.

[cal_sitter]

Are you going to soak the carpet as an excuse to replace it with something more expensive?

[dresden4hire]

Spray it with water.

[cal_sitter]

If I start spraying the cat with water, Robin will start spraying the cat with water, and he won't stop until he gets his new carpet.

[dresden4hire]

Spray Robin with water too?

[cal_sitter]

No thank you. It's dangerous to give him excuses.
