W/ the best cats
In tiger country, people working outdoors wear face masks on the back of their heads to fool tigers. They know that these animals pounce on unsuspecting prey so the masks make the people look like they are facing them and not away.

Anyway, I need a face mask for the back of my head. My boy, San, has this terrible habit of jumping on my back whenever I am sitting down. Like he did it right now as I am at the computer. I think he is aiming at my shoulders but why can't he just go on my lap and climb up! My back has so many scratches already (but it is amazing that my clothes are not even torn).

I hope he is not thinking of turning my back into his scratch post!

Hmmmm, what about wearing something the cat doesn't like, maybe a shirt with sticky tape on your back
?

The one thing I do when I don't want my cats in a certain place is to show them the water bottle. I'm not sure that will work for you, but it is maybe worth a try.
