Lessons in Assertiveness

A cat by any other name

Dear Dr. Mutt,

I share the patio with a cat who thinks she's the big meow of felines. When the master brings out our morning snack, she hops on top of the barbecue pit and sits all prim and proper and swishes her fluffy tail. I tried to be nice, but the other day she called me a dirty dog, and said I was low down and disgusting. So I barked back that I'd rather be a measly mutt than a highfaluting feline any day! Then she hissed at me and tried to claw me. I'm warning you, Dr. Mutt, that cat better be careful. My patience is wearing thin.

Dear Indignant,

Forget your vengeance. Unless you are twenty times taller than the tabby, you don't stand a chance. And even if you are bigger, I advise you to tread lightly and steer clear. This would not make you a coward; it's for your safety, believe me. You could get hurt. A fussy feline is a dangerous thing.
