Don't hang around me then, CC. I love getting into mutual teasing matches with my friends. It's fun to see who can create the most humorous comments playing off each other. 
There's teasing, and there's insulting, those are two entirely different matters.
Also, I was taking the whipping very literally and physically. Since I'm pacifist at heart, I despise all means of agression amongst animals (this includes humans) of the same species, unless they're meant for survival.
So you see why my cat team is totally devoted to defensive actions.

I'm afraid I'm not too good at making up teasing comments though, so I'd be no good at those kind of matches. Unfortunately, my lack of creative talent also shows on that area. That doesn't mean ofcourse, I wouldn't want to hang around you.
