Dear Mimi,

I like your idea of 20+ years, and meowmy says she likes it even better. However, I really don't know if I can tolerate that snotty new brother I have for that long. Can you give me any hints on how to get rid of him?

He's ok for the most part, and leaves me alone, but every morning he gets feisty and sneak attacks me - and I hate it when he does that! I hiss and spit and swat him, but he just hides for a minute then sneak attacks me again! Grrrrr......

You're looking good these days, girlfriend, but if you have any advice at all on how to handle pesky younger brothers, please fill me in.

Your Friend,
Peanut
