The fine art of the caterwauling duels is rarely practiced with skill by humans.

No patience to perfect the spitting, ear-piercing combative screams, sharp swipes, and fur flying. People seem contented to stop learning at puffed up posing and stiff strutting.

A watered down version traditionally taught to the lesser species is based social concepts they easily understand: winners and losers.

We shall return later for discussion.
