I have a cat who has learned that if he jumps onto my shoulders and uses claws, he gets yelled at. So of course, he keeps doing it for the attention. Good thing he's cute.

Mine was sleeping in the chair in front of my computer. So instead of shoving him aside, I got out a treat and put it on the floor for him.

This week whenever I walk through that room, he runs to that chair, jumps in the seat, and pretends to sleep.
