on the subject of cats and dogs

neither Miles nor Mimi
ever got involved in that human
discussion: are you a cat or a dog
lover? now, it's not because they
weren't smart or well-versed on the
subject, it's just that Miles would wag
his tail no matter what I thought and growl
at me when he felt like it, and Mimi, well,
she looks at me ever so-proud, blinking
with delight when I fill her bowls cause
she knows she trained me right.

I like this piece. I love all animals but cats are my favourite. The last line "she knows she trained me right." says a great deal because when you possess a cat the big question is: Do you own the cat or does the cat own you? Cheers ... Leonard
