Growl - Hiss Conflict Resolution Meeting

"You don't throw them back if they're too small!"

"Okay, you both know the rules: no trash talk, no batting the other guy all over the house if he’s unconscious, watch the claws and nails..."

"Will you be taking these home or chewing them right here?"

"Sure my wings flap 70 times per second-- I've been sipping nectar all day."

"Oh, yeah, that's the spot... just stay there... hurt so good... a little harder—yes! You are my hero, no kidding, I freaking love y-oooh..."

"You're right—there's no such thing as personal space in a hibernaculum."

'I don't know about you. But I'm eating my fill before I drag this carcass to the 'king of the beasts'.'

"I know we've had our differences in the past but if you scratch behind my ears I'll show you where the catnip is kept."

'We don't want you poking around here any more!'

What does aloof mean?
