My cat is very stubborn. I think he may get that from me.

For the past week, he has determined to sleep on the footstool in front of my chair. The only problem with that location is that I put my laptop on that chair whenever I'm taking a break from the computer. It's the only place I can put it. So, every 30 minutes or so, I have to push him off the footstool so I can put my laptop down. He yowls and paces and yowls some more... Then when I pick my laptop up, he gets back on the footstool. I need to go get a drink and take a bathroom break, but I don't want to start another disagreement with him. There are so many other places where he could sleep, but he is DETERMINED that the footstool is his new evening sleeping place.

Maybe I should buy another footstool?
Anyone else have a stubborn cat?
