"What am I to do? Lee's Great Grand children gave me to her 'cause they didn't like me.. In fact, the little one acted like she was scared and cried when I tried to be friendly. She didn't want me around. Now Ms. Kitty doesn't like me. If Lee gets rid of me, I don't know where I'll wind up. Tell me what to do."

"From where I stand," says Mr. Tufted Titmouse,pulling himself up to his full height, "it looks to me like perhaps you should try to be less aggressive. You can't push yourself onto people. It's like having a horse loose and trying to catch him by chasing him on foot. He can run faster than you. I've noticed that it's easier if you get a bucket of oats and stand still, maybe calling him and showing him the bucket, he will come to you. Maybe you should try letting Ms. Kitty come to you."

"But you do have to get rid of that crazy chortle you have been scaring Ms. Kitty with." he added.
