Mr. Mittens from Tulsa, OK asks...
Dear Bean,
I too have a feud with a neighboring cat, we'll call him "Henry". I feel powerless to fight him because my human won't let me out. I wish I could sneak out to give him a swift kick in the pituty. What do you think I should do? I am torn between my devotion to my human (who keeps me flush with liver treats), and escaping to TCB -- take care of bidness.
Sincerely,
Torn in Okalahoma
Dear Torn,
I too have faced your dilemma. My humans do give me treats and toys and so I am semi-loyal to them. I have found that they are far more loyal to me, and if you escape to take on your nemisis, your humans will take you back with open arms. I once pushed a screen window out to chase my nemesis up a tree and my humans gave me treats for a job well done because my man-human shares my hate of my nemesis. Have hope little cowcat.
Best Wishes,
Bean

Dear Torn,
I find that hovering near doorways and darting out when humans arms are filled with large bags of food is a great way to escape. Hiding under cars makes it near impossible for them to force you back in. Don't be fooled by their treats, it's a trick.

If you find your freedom, don't go back. I have found my freedom multiple times and each time I have been thwarted by the humans. Run! Run for your life. Run as fast as you can. NEVER look back. Find some rogue young humans in the neighborhood to bring you food and treats.
PS. If they offer you fig newtons to get in a car, don't fall for it.
