Tubby has always been very jealous of Peanut too. If he notices that she is getting attention - on our lap, on the floor, on the bed, wherever - he will immediately drop what he's doing - not that he's usually doing too much
- and run over to us and what pets and attention from us. He has always been this way and I haven't been able to break him of the habit.
Peanut always jumps down or runs away when he comes over. A few times I've forced her to stay, so I had both of them on my lap, telling Tubby that it's ok for me to pet her too, and telling Peanut that it's ok if Tubby is there and she doesn't have to run away, but they are both extremely unhappy under those circumstances so I let her go and chase him off my lap for being such a bully.
