Eva and Rebel have developed an affectionate but tumultuous relationship. Rebel's favorite spot is the cushion on my dining room chair, but this is the perfect height for Eva to pat, poke, prod, pull hair, and even occasionally try to pull his tail or put it in her mouth. Rebel's response is usually a lazy "meow", getting up to stretch and reposition himself, and then plopping back down in the exact same spot, as if begging for more abuse. Eva is then likely to try pushing the chair around the kitchen with Rebel still in it. Eventually, he finally gets tired of these games, and jumps the safety gate in search of a quieter place to curl up. I wish he would get out of her way sooner. Half the time he’s so quiet I don’t even notice she’s bothering him until he’s fed up.
