How do I get Eyvan to leave my earbuds alone? I use my mp3 at night to block out other sounds so I can sleep but he has some kind of weird passion for them and will try to get them every time opportunity presents itself.
I have gotten him to stop doing other things by gently tapping him on the nose with an open hand. He usually stops after a couple of times and that's that, but with the earbuds he will simply sit down and wait for me to become distracted or dose off and then try to swipe them right out of my ears or, as has happened twice now, bite through the cord and render them useless.
The night before last he sat by the bed purring and I knew he was waiting for me to fall asleep. Sure enough, as soon as my eyes were closed he popped up and tried to swipe them. When I opened my eyes he sat back down with his eyes closed and a cat grin on purring. Out of frustration and desperation (and the fact that I was sick and over tired so please don't stone me) I picked up the Kleenex box and popped him on the head when he went for them the next time. The only thing he did was sit back down and purr!!!
