I’m bored so I’m posting one of my old poems, and, remember, nobody HAS to read the dang thing!Cats Know Which Side Their Mice Are Buttered
Truer words were never utteredCats know which side their mice are butteredThey use us humans in their plans(We’re here to open up their cans)In other ways they tend to doubt usKnowing they can do without us
Dogs are opposite: it’s trueYou MIGHT find some that bark at youDogs who bite and yap and growlAnd act in other ways most foulDogs with issues, quirks, and bentsWho shred your limbs and ligaments
A Hamlet dog will bite and scratchGreat Dane as big as bandersnatchA Iago dog can be a smilerTurn from poodle to rottweilerAnd body parts they often severThe dreaded Labrador “retrever”
But if a dog is friendly firstHe’s friendly last, e’en at your worstIf you are late with bits and kibblesHe’ll eat the neighbor’s cats (or tribbles!)And then off to his well-earned restPeople with dogs are truly blessed
You can ignore a dog and it will still love you because it is a pack animal. Cats are solitary creatures. If you ignore them, they will be fine on their own. If you want their attention, you must give them your attention on a consistent basis.
In other words – you cannot take cats for granted the way you do dogs.

So… Rosy’s going to get it on with Bill? What will Hodge-Podge say about this?

Affection? Looks more like the Heimlich from here.

I guess that might really be the best way to look at the current political situation…..“Comical self-deception!” I love it!

Timely… but I laughed more at Brooke McEldowney’s scenario from Pibgorn (last Sunday).

Is Trump or Putin the cat? Putin has claws but I’m not sure Trump is human.

I had thought BB was numbering these, instead of including a publishing date. But, this is the third one in a row with 276 (lower left of P1).

Dogs are pack animals. Cats are not.
You can ignore a dog and it will still love you because it is a pack animal. Cats are solitary creatures. If you ignore them, they will be fine on their own. If you want their attention, you must give them your attention on a consistent basis.

I’m pretty sure Binkley is the Putin in this analogy. He’ll pretend he is your friend, but he’s actually out to strangle you.
