What Is It About Cats?

 

By John I. Blair

What is it about cats

That they never come straight toward you

Like a dog?

Instead they angle slightly to the side,

Pretending they’ve a different agenda

That just by chance will take them

Into your vicinity. And,

If you should wish to pet them as they pass,

They might tolerate it.
