In Paragraph three "100 per cent" should be 100 percent.

Apparently the dog does not have a very high opinion of the cat. This is exemplified by labeling the Persian a "bitch".

Seems "Pip" feels he is losing his position in the family hierarchy to the cat. Not a good position for the dog to be in.

Time for the meower to move on to other climes somewhere.

Enjoyable read. I can see myself being the subject written about. Cats were never my favorite for y mother always felt the same; however that said I adopted a waif left at our office complex, a long haired gray we named Tramp. It went about bringing corpses back as tokens of its affection leaving them on the stoop for us to bury. All was well until it brough a snake.

    Ugh. Unfortunately, dogs are sometimes the bearer of deceased gifts, as well. Just grew up with dogs. Thank you.

I found your approach quite creative and the writing was well done. I love the characterization of the cat by the dog and I am impressed with how you characterized the dog mostly through dialogue and his thoughts. I enjoyed reading this. Good luck in the contest.

A fine story, and a well written one. Putting it into the form of a letter asking for a bit of advice was a good technique. Sending best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Pip's letter to Dear Abby was so funny and adorable! I liked the part where he was treated like a "very bad boy" and resented it. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

It sucks getting a sibling! I thought this was very creative. I love how you personify the dogs. It was a funny story and very enjoyable. I especially liked how he thought the plate was his. Great job!

Cats are cute, but they can be such jerks when it comes to dogs. The poor Pip has an absolute nightmare with Tasha. Your story is funny and absolutely relatable to anyone who has a cat/a dog or both :)

PS: There is an interesting video on youtube: "You shall not pass, dog" - dogs afraid of cats."
