Dear Kizzy,
Ah, I see. Between you and me, I am not a very tough boy (except when I am trying to battle my sister on the cat tree for top position!). Mostly I am just very confident and the dog follows suit. However, I have developed a strategy for getting away from pesky creatures that won't leave me be when they are feisty (ahem, ferrets!).
Please pass on to dear Pip that when the going gets tough, you must go
UP!!! The vertical leap is a great advantage. Now when I was a kitten I didn't quite grasp this so when I was being bothered Mummy would pick me up and set me on higher ground where the little monsters couldn't reach me. Eventually, it clicked in my head to do it for myself
Love,
Solomon
