To start off with our house has six cats; Rose, Princess, Ra, Slipper, Spot, and Asia; and three humans; RB, AWM, and me. Now, Slipper and Rose love to ride on shoulders; my shoulders, RB's shoulders, the shoulders of guests that come into the house that have never met the cats before--they like shoulders. Ra likes to ride on RB's shoulders because--well, Ra is attached to RB and RB could do just about anything to the cat and he'd love it. Princess will sometimes ride on shoulders, but usually not--and Spot is terrified of being on someone's shoulder. (Not sure why; might just be a quirk of the cat.)
RB has decided that Spot needs "cured" of his fear, and keeps picking the cat up and putting him on his shoulder. This terrifies Spot, but he's far too well mannered to claw RB for the indignity. AWM and I have tried, repeatedly, explaining why what he's doing is cruel, but he's convinced he's doing what's best for the cat and won't listen to us. Spot has taken to spending most of his time outside in order to avoid RB, but it's not working very well.
How do I fix this?!
