Last night I noticed a bit of a pattern. Perjo loves to sit on my shoulder like many FIDs, and once in awhile when she is perched up there I answer my cellphone and have a quick conversation. Perjo usually likes my left shoulder the best so I usually grab the phone with my right hand.
She seems to take issue with this, 3 times now in the past 2 weeks she takes a very sharp nip at my left cheek when I am talking with the phone up to the other side of my face. A legit nip meant to either get my attention or cause some pain. She has seen my phone hundreds of times, I take photos & videos with it all the time, so I'm baffled at her taking major issue with the phone itself. I'm guessing she is upset b/c she knows I am having a conversation that is not directed toward her or she interprets some kind of relationship between me and the phone.
Thoughts?
I'm going to put an end to this behavior immediately as it is too dangerous that I could get an eye plucked and b/c she should not be acting that way even though it's not a fault of hers. I will just avoid grabbing the phone when she is on my shoulder but I do want to attempt to address this when she is up there with my phone in hand, kind of as a teaching moment.
