Zoe and Little Foot..another story

So I finished riding Zoe early one morning....and the cat, Little Foot, jumps up on the barrel.  She wants attention and Zoe wants to rub her muzzle on that soft fur.  So we ride over to the barrel.  The two of them are nose to nose when suddenly Little Foot gets this idea.  I guess she wanted even more attention so she jumped on Zoe's neck and started walking the crest of her neck towards me.  Mind you I'm in the saddle...hoping that Zoe doesn't blow up.  Little Foot starts to loose her footing and Zoe said "that's enough" and tosses her head and neck to get the cat off.  Zoe doesn't panic or blow up, she just decided that she had had enough and the cat needed to leave.  The cat tried to stay on and had her claws in Zoe's mane.  I was really hoping at this point that Little Foot didn't have her  claws in Zoe's neck....but apparently not...no claw marks afterwards.  Little Foot decides that this is not working the way she planned and releases her claws and lands on the ground and runs for the grandstand...hiding underneath.  Zoe just stands there quietly watching her friend run away.  Phew!  Good pony!  Silly cat!  So we walk around a little while and I get off and coax Little Foot out from under the grandstand.  Zoe and Little Foot touch noses again then we started walking for the barn.  Little Foot runs ahead of us and Zoe calmly follows.
