My two cats will run without a second thought sometimes when they are scared. Are they "weaklings"? Are they "avoiders"? Maybe they have good sense, considering that they are not bigger than all possible creatures that might threaten them. Is there a place for different coping strategies that depend upon the nature of the danger?
