what's the best way to get a cat to stop following you around

it won't go even though i'm ignoring it

[...It probably didn't help that he had never spent that much time around cats, even when he was alive.]

Have you tried feeding it?

(This is terrible advice, please don't listen to her--)

Once distracted by the meal, you can run away.

I'm afraid you have a cat now.

Have you picked a name?

[shiitan]

if it finds me again, feeding it is just going to make it follow me around more

[shiitan]

not helping

i'm not going to name a cat i can't take care of

If you find out, let me know. My shinki's a goddamn magnet for strays.

[reformedsinner]

Cat food is relatively inexpensive.

Or is there some other reason you can't take care of it?

Rosssss~!

You should just accept it wants to be your friend! C'mon you could use somemore!

Don't cats generally like when people don't ask for their attention all the time more? So ignoring it would do the exact opposite of what you want it to do.

[spes_phthisica]

if you find out, please don't let god up there know. he complains about the ducks and the cats but he actually likes them a lot and he wouldn't have the heart to get them to stop following him anyway.

also, why would you want to?

[shiitan]

it's not about feeding it

i've never tried to bring something that's still alive over to the far shore

[shiitan]

hold on

do strays just follow your shinki around or are they bringing them in on purpose

[koukai_kirai]

Absolutely on purpose, though I don't think I'd be too surprised if they did it on their own, at this point.

also voice

[shiitan]

Or it wants me to feed it.

[There was some meowing in the background as he said that. As for that last part, he wasn't touching that with a ten foot pole.]

[shiitan]

so i should give it lots of attention

[So...was he supposed to pet it a lot? Or something else? Argh.]

what else is there

[shiitan]

so you're the goddamn magnet for strays he was talking about

the punishment for asking that question is me letting him know

[spes_phthisica]

i cant help it if a few ducks followed me home

[It was around 300 ducks, Souji.]

i will admit that i took the cats home because they were abandoned
i really dont see the problem
and in that case i hope you never find out (´-ε-｀)

[reformedsinner]

It doesn't seem to be a problem with animals.

At least, although I didn't adopt any of the animals in my temple, they do seem to be living creatures.

[And that is why he's had to stock not just cat and dog food, but a roll of plastic bags for picking up after Bon, too.]

[wingedprincess]

Then you'd have a friend for life.

(She's not very helpful, sorry.)

[kokuyoyo]

You'll never get rid of it. It'll hunt you down and live at your house no matter what you do.

[shiitan]

it's funnier if they're being brought in on purpose

[...He was the worst person to ask for advice.]

[shiitan]

they were abandoned?

that's different from them being strays

[It just was, okay.]

[smilingbullet]

Unless it likes that too. But it'll let you know when it doesn't want attention any more.

Get someone it likes better to adopt it, maybe?

[shiitan]

is that right

[If he left this cat here, he was sure someone would want to give it a home. On the other hand, with how it was following him around everywhere, well...]

this cat is pretty heavy for being a stray

[shiitan]

if you're a shinki would that make it a friend for unlife instead

[Insert rimshot here.]

[shiitan]

are you speaking from personal experience
