Jazzy explains to Cuffy how to handle staff

Cuffy said, “Jazzy Cat, last night in the middle of the night, while I was sound asleep, DH startled me as she was turning over and I gently grabbed her by the hand with my mouth. Well, the next thing I know she slapped me and ran me out of the bed. How come you always seem to have our staff eating out of your hand, but when I try to exert control, I get slapped out of bed?” I replied with as much compassion as I could muster, “Cuffy, Cuffy, Cuffy, to properly exercise control over human staff, you must manipulate their heart strings through resourceful cunning. Have you not learned anything from watching me play them like a world class violin player plays his fiddle?”
