* Training cats to recognize no conflict zones is hard, as unlike most of the things I train cats to do, it's going against the grain of instinct instead of tweaking a behavior they already have or getting them do do a thing they already do on command. It's also a complex thing they individually have to work out through trial and error. It is a slow process, like water eroding stone. They are still figuring out the rules, which Tavy very much doesn't want to follow. Livia has just worked out that if she wants a solo nap or she's had enough playing and/or grooming, if she moves up close to me on the bed while I'm awake I will discourage, distract, and if necessary remove Tavy, just like I do when she's having her desk nap. Tavy is pretty sure I object to him hassling her in those spaces even though he appears to be allowed to be in those spaces, which he finds baffling. Still, he's attempting both stealth attacks and alarming sudden pounces, both of which seem to end him being ejected from the desk or bed. For new complex rules, always a little time, but I think we are getting there.
