My cat knocked 47 pens off my desk in one week, cute habit or tiny tyrant?
My cat Miso has knocked exactly 47 pens off my desk since last Monday, and I finally counted because it felt like way more. Half of me thinks it is hilarious and harmless, the other half thinks I am training her to be a tiny destroyer by laughing every time. So do I get her more pens to swat or move everything to a drawer and ruin her fun?
Move the pens to a drawer, but leave her like two decoys. Laughing when she does it teaches her the game works, and 47 pens means she's already got it down. You're not ruining her fun, you're just cutting the supply.
