The American Experience
She thought he loved the cat.
He had told her he liked cats
but what she saw was a man
who loved cats.
She didn't like men who loved cats.
She only had the cat as a pet because
she found the cat polite company.
She one day bought the cat a fish
and when the cast greeted her
purring and rubbing up against her legs
she became angry.
The cat knew the fish was hers
she meowed and purred and caressed
against the womans leg, trying to
have at the fish.
the woman put the ct in her travel bag.
and went to cook the fish. She sat down
and grabbed a bottle of tarter sauce
and ate the fish infront of the cat.
the cat started hissing and
clawing at the woman. The woman
finshed eating the fish and dangled
the bone of the fish before the cat
teasing the cat. She than took the cast
outside: by then her husband
had come home; he asked what
was going on. She told him she
was taking " Queen Kitta" :
the cats name, out for a drive. If the cat
would stop acting like she loved
you she would leave the at the docks.
If the cat looked around and
would jump back in the car I could
forgive her for coming between me and my husband.
The husband said , fine take the cat out but bring her back.
The wife said you have to come up with something better than that.
This is my cat honey she said. Which one? He asked she smiled don't play with me.
