    II think I've mentioned plenty of times already how needy my Bob is, but is getting out of hand now! He is spending way too much time with me! I mean, it seems is main focus of attention is me! He demands me to pay him full attention most of the time, by petting him and so on.

    This is specially troublesome because most of the time I'm using my laptop and he comes here and tries to lie on it so I stop working on it and I start paying attention to him. This is one of many examples I could give here, but this is one of the most bothersome because I work online and I need to hurry in order to make ends meet at the end of every month, but Bob isn't helping!

    What can be done bout this? Why is my Bob becoming more and more needy?

    I try to give my cats some toys so that they keep entertained. If I don't have any entertainment then they are all over my laptop too. I even give them some treats in the kitchen. Moving them to a new location and giving them some toys in another spot can get Bob moving away from your laptop.

    Thanks, Steph! I do have some toys for him, but Mr. I'm-am-a-mega-diva doesn't seem so interested. I will try getting new ones tho :D Maybe a toy with something edible inside or a long lasting treat! My Bob loves eating, so if I can get something edible to entertain him, that will surely do.
