Charlie, the pup, wants to play with Lucy, the cat. Lucy wants nothing to do with Charlie and surely thinks it is time for him to leave the house. Hasn’t he overstayed his welcome? He gets excited and jumps around and she, predictably, hisses, growls and swats her short stubby front leg at him. Although…
