The Cat Who Owned Dogs

The cat who owned dogs was boasting loudly the other day. That she had the means to convert them with her ample pay. She made them wear whisker masks that made them look like cats. Then she indoctrinated them into an army that chased big rats. The dogs stood behind her and waited for her whistle command. She made them wear clothes that would have suited a mariachi band. The cat who owned dogs was a disgrace with neighbors on her block. They did not like dogs living in pens there, around the clock. We like to meow a merry melody once in a while one of them said. But when the beagles begin to howl with us, our pretty tone is dead. And when the Great Danes begin their bark from the gates of hell, It’s something that makes us angry, even worse than the dogs’ smell. The cat who owned dogs liked getting on her neighbor’s nerves. She pranced around in pretty dresses, showing off her curves. She stole their husbands and had litters almost three a year. She is not a terrific neighbor a friend, in case that is not clear.

Seriously, if there is a dog and a cat in the house, the cat thinks she owns the dog, just like she thinks she owns the big people. Cats are very much in charge!

Cats are SO AGGRESSIVE! Have you seen the videos where the cats are forcing the large dogs out of the chair?
