I am so cocky this days. I chased my colleague back under the sofa with a tangled mutual volley of snarls right in front of my simian charges. They didn’t say a thing. I suppose they get vexed with her as well.

As Bast* knows, it is all in good spirits.

No battle fought that sheds blood that won’t clot.
No war can be won to cause selfish mischief to be shunned.
So we may as well enjoy the fierce acrobatics of the tumble.

*Bast, a goddess of play, felines and females who shows you how to be as playful, as well as the goddess of vengeance.
