“Dear Cocoa,
I very much enjoy
reading your blog and have gotten a great deal of information from it. I didn’t think I would ever be writing you,
but here goes. My pets, wonderful
humans, brought a screaming mini of themselves home about a year ago. The mini smelled somewhat like them and
stayed in one place so I wasn’t worried.
Now, however, the mini is running around like a young feline and jumping
on me, pulling my tail, even occasionally taking my food! What can I do to protect myself? I don’t want to hurt the mini, but I am
getting desperate (and hungry). Please
help me.
Signed Desperate and
Hungry”
“Dear Desperate and
Hungry,
Your pets have brought
home a young kitten, as I am sure you have figured out, and like all young
kittens, this one will slowly grow up.
The mini is discovering its world like all new ones and is still not
quite strong enough to do it all. Swat it
like you would any kitten (with no claws) and move out of the way. Keep an especial eye on your food and screech
whenever you see the mini over there.
Remember, your pets don’t eat what you eat and they won’t want their
mini to eat it either. Also, try to
sleep in out of the way places so the mini won’t find you while you are
napping. I hope this helps, but I will
warn you, before long that mini won’t be mini anymore and you will have another
pet on your hands to train up in proper fashion.
Signed Cocoa”
