Bandit is in my office lying on a nice warm patch of sunshine. About
3 inches in front of her nose is a half dead mosquito. Sammy is
lying about six inches away from Bandit, nose facing nose, staring
intently at the fluttering mosquito. Every time Sammy extends her
paw to grab the mosquito Bandit hisses and slaps her paw away. Sammy
quickly retracts her paw and again stares at the fluttering mosquito
and hunches herself a fraction of an inch closer. Their paws are now
about 3 inches from each other. Sammy slooooooowly extends her paw
towards the fluttering mosquito, and Bandit hisses and slaps her paw
away. Sammy looks up at me in exasperation to say, "See how selfish
she is, *she* doesn't want the bug but she won't let *me* have it
either!"

Awwww. Poor Sammy. She really wants to play with Bandit and everyone else
(even if it's just sharing a mosquito) but they won't let her! (Of course,
Bandit still isn't feeling absolutely great yet.)
