Open an orange around it, at least my in-laws cat can't stand the smell of citrus and if it's bugging me I'll pop open an orange and throw the peel at it.

I have a Russian Blue myself and she's has a tendency to nest on my lap but rarely will use her claws after she's "softened" my lap. a lot of my pants have the thighs all clawed up like a couch. You get used to it after awhile. It's like a bonding thing.

Cats can be trained but you need patients. Cats don't break easy, and usually the best training comes from mutual respect. Cats easily figure out the boundaries. I just don't set any since I'm a hippy with animals. She's more like my equal in my eyes.

Drop few drops of water on her. just be ready for some scratching of your lap while she scrabbles for purchase to jump off.

first off I am in my room where the only liquids present are insulin and scotch.

second off, I have tried that before and all I got were dirty looks from her.

Just open the scotch and put the bottle under her nose...she'll be gone in moments.

No. She'll sniff it decide she does not like it and go back to purring. At least mine would.

Off course, she my decide that she likes scotch, in which case goodbye scotch.

Likewise, my cats may decide they like and want to eat almost anything I'm having on any given day. Of course they will almost always refuse whatever cat food happens to be on sale this week.

Cats are love/hate pets. You either hate them or love them. They are very paticular who they like.

Also a feline only trait is that a cat will starve itself to death if it doesn't have appetizing food to eat. That's why food sources are so crucial to large feline. They will simply not eat if they don't find something they want. Dogs will eat anything if they are hungry enough. It's been seen before where even when provided cat food; if the cat doesn't like it, it will starve itself to death. This cat food being food another cat will eat.

 

[Scotley]

That makes sense based on my experiences. The annoying part is the fickleness. One week you buy a brand and they love it. The next week they are starving themselves.
