She heard the groan of the shelf far below her as he reached up for her.
"But Daddy! I asked! I did! I asked Mama if I could go to the market like she took Cit! She said it wasn't safe! She said I run too fast! She always telling me I run too fast or jump too high, or be careful or-" his paw moved to hover over her trying to feel for her neck. NO! She gently swiped at his paw, with a one-two soft paw punch, and pressed herself as close to the wall as possible. She knew using her claws on him was a huge no-no.
"I get down when I want to!" She snapped. She was perfectly fine up here! To emphasize her ability to get down on her own, since he was already so close- She quickly peeked over the edge to judge where he was and then leaped to land on his forehead, run down his neck, and back, and then leap for the floor! Never mind she probably wouldn't have been able to get down on her own if he hadn't been positioned so, but she wasn't even 3 months old yet.
