cats are dumb

my boyfriend's cat wants to lay on my lap. fine. but every time she's laying on me, she starts digging her claws into my stomach.

every time she starts digging her claws into me, I pick her up and place her on the floor. after the second instance, my dog would have understood the cause-and-effect nature of what was going on and would have stopped scratching me if he wanted to lay in my lap... this has been going on with this fucking cat for like 18 hours, though :hmm:

I can only draw the conclusion that dogs >>> cats
 
So basically instead of having to go through the effort of jumping off the cat trained you to place it on the floor when it digs its claws in you.

given that she jumps right back up unless I block her, I'm assuming that is not the case.

it may just be this particular cat. I don't think my boyfriend has trained her at all and pretty much lets her walk all over him (literally and figuratively).
 
I flick the back of my cat's head when he did this. He didn't like that and he settled down... or I gave him head trauma. Hard to tell if it was good training or not.

Either way, maybe the cat DOES know the cause>effect relationship and being thrown in the air is damn fun so it keeps scratching you.

cats do this as part of their nature. get used to it.

my cat did the same thing. she would stop after she relaxed enough to nap.

you could try putting a blanket on your tummy or put one next to you and put the cat on it and pet the cat. the cat will learn not to sit on your tummy.

cats aren't dumb. they like things done on their own terms. dogs prefer to be slaves to their owners while cats own you.

You probably have a fat stomach so the cat likes to claw that. amirite?

This. I have a kneading specific pillow that I keep on my couch. Anytime the cat jumps up, just grab the pillow and let it knead away until it falls asleep.
 
Muffin tops happen if you just have a sliver of fat. When sitting down, they naturally appear - provided you are wearing pants too tight for yourself.

I think its usually from girls being in denial and wearing WAY too tight of pants for their actual size.

Ding Ding Ding, I think we have a winner here, finally a poster with a bit of brains. As for me I have both dogs and cats, dogs are smarter in some ways and cats are smarter in other ways.
