Simba and the Smart Door
We want our two cats to be kept inside.
so we bought a dog door that was smart!
It synched up with her collar to provide
the way for only THE dog to depart!
One night I searched my house and could not find
our ginger cat named Simba. Where was he?
I took a flashlight, and it blew my mind
to see our cats’ eye glowing from a tree.
That Simba figured out a way to get
behind our Aussie dog when she goes out.
I guess he lies in wait, and then it’s “ready, set,
and go” when our dog leaves! Yes, I’ve got no doubt.
Good thing that cat’s been fixed and still has claws.
Or he’d be hunting female cats in heat,
or ending up in some big mean dog’s jaws!
Thankfully by dawn, he’s at the door to eat!
