Cat troubles

"Dear Cocoa,

A good place to hide might be
a large sack.

I absolutely love my pets; however, their babies are another story entirely.  One in particular is always chasing me and pulling my tail.  I have screamed at my pets for help, scratched the baby enough to let him know that the action is bad, and even bit him a few times without success.  What else is there?  My pets don't even acknowledge that the baby is hurting me.  I fear I may have to leave.  Is there any hope?

"Dear Tail Hurts,

There are always possibilities.  First, does the baby chase you and pull your tail when the other pets are around or does he sneak about and catch you when the others are out?  If you can, try to remain in an area where the other pets are; in this way, when you cry out in pain they will hear and react.  Also, try to stay out of the baby's sight as much as possible when others are not there.  When he gets to the point that it is really starting to hurt, wait until another is present and scream and then scratch and run.  Hopefully your pets will understand the meaning.  If they don't, perhaps finding another home would be wise since your present pets may not truly understand the feline way.  I wish you luck!
