I was lying on the couch playing on my phone and Holly jumped up and laid on top of me

and proceeded to head-butt me so I gave her some pets and scritches. She was just a little too close to the phone so I tried to move her over an inch or two so I could still play on the phone with her next to it. She let put a very loud meow but she wouldn't budge so I tried to move her again and she bit me! She didn't bite down, she just put her teeth on my hand but it was still a bite. So I tried to move her again because I'm a slow learner and she bit me again! So I very wisely gave up. She won. She always wins.

There's no use getting into a test of wills with a cat. It won't happen again, Holly. Lesson learned. And please forgive your foolish mama.
