The Difference Between Cats and Dogs

Here is how a dog
Rewards his owner for feeding them
He comes, tail wagging, for a rub
Behind the ears
And a scratch under his chin

Here is how a cat
Rewards her owner for feeding them
They meow at the door
To be let out once more
Only to be let in again
With a meow
And a scratch at the door
