My Cats Are Trained?

My cats are smart.  
They are so well trained.

Before I can get the can open
they are around my legs.
Crawlin’ up.
Thank God for denim.

When I see them lazying.
All I have to do is go outside
and they run to the bowl.  

Never mind the five gallon
dry feeder which always 
stays fresh.
I just pop a new 
can of fish. 

When it gets dark
Mama cat comes and stands at the door.
She just stands there ‘til I open it.
Then she jumps up on the bed 
at wife’s feet and begins to snore.
She is so smart.

Of course I do have to open the door.
Maybe she has me trained.

I’ll have to think on that a bit.

You know?  That makes me feel
sort of like a twit.
