"What's the matter with Miss Kitty?" he asked.
"She can't take a joke," said Spot. "If you chase her, she always claws you if she can."
Now, that was one of the first things Miss Kitty taught her children. She claimed that claws were made to be used—especially on old dog Spot.
But when a kitten tried its claws on one of its mates Miss Kitty always cuffed it[p. 115] smartly. She claimed, then, that claws were not made to be used—especially on one's own family.
And in time the kittens learned their lessons perfectly.
