How does one get a cat to leave them alone?

No.

You could keep your door closed.

[It won't work, but they can pretend.]

That does not stop it.

[There's a thoughtful hum.]

Is that so?

[He might be smirking at that. How does it feel Simon?]

Yes. But there is no reason for it to need to be in my room or around me.

It likes you.

I don't like it.

You don't get a choice.

That sounds counterintuitive to everything else you have said about this place.

Cats are counterintuitive to everything. As are most housepets.

What is the point?

Of a pet?

That is one good question, yes.

Companionship. Some animals are more preferable to some people.

I do not see why.

Because some humans are idiots. Apo, is not.

[Shut up, he's totally not attached to that dog. Not at all.]

Animals can be idiots.

They make up for their idiocy.

[Much like Alex.]

I fail to see how this cat can make up for anything.

The cat is smart. It gets in wherever you try to hide.

It is a nuisance.

So is Alex, but we keep her.

She is not a nuisance.

[Simon, ask Peter to show you how to have a sense of humor.]

Ask her yourself. She's reading this and most conversations I have on this thing.

I don't need to.
