I suggest that you'll have much more luck training yourself to do things differently than your pets. Kuhio also liked to bat my earings and stuff around. A nice opal earring went down the sink drain and we never could get it out. Sooooo, now when I take off my jewelry or empty my pockets, I put them in a box with a lid or in a drawer. I saw on the Emergency Vet show on Animal Planet, where a kitty swallowed a nickle and they had to do surgery (for $1,000) to get it out. That's my advice -- train yourself. It'll be easier and less expensive in the long run.
