Why are cats so proud
of their buttholes?
Presenting them to us
like some valuable lost
treasure every chance
they get. Staring back
at us in contempt. Most of
the time when we’re busy
doing important things.
Sometimes I want to
stick the end of my pen
in that little puckered up
turd hatch – just to create
some chaos – and show
them who’s boss. But who
am I kidding? They watch
us clean their toilets, and
demand attention only
when they feel the need.
We’re also trained to provide
food and drink upon command.
I can only imagine how pathetic
they think we must be, and I love them
for that very reason. Because compared to
these perfect creatures, we most certainly are.
