Pavlov's Cat

Having lived with a cat
for the past six years--
I am thoroughly convinced
that both
Pavlov and his dog
were conditioned
by Pavlov's Cat....

Cats, not so different from man, when he uses his wits and purr to get his way. When those fail...he resorts to bombs.

Dear Joe, Many thanks for commenting on my poem "Best Day Ever" It is going in my new book "Poems for People Who Don't Like Poetry" BTW, I printed out Pavlov's Cat for my friend whose Siamese just died. She is so sad. Love from Nola Perez nolaperez.com

You are welcome. I enjoyed your poem very much. Good luck with your new book! Sad about your friend's cat. I have lost several over the years, and it is never easy. Like family. Hope Pavlov's Cat gives her a chuckle. Blessings my friend!
