Why did the cat, sit on the mat? What was its purpose We don't know if it was a queen or a tom cat Was the mat indoors, or out? Was it waiting for a door to open? To be (or not) let in or out? Was it stopping to go into a deep psychoanalytical thought, or philosophy? Or perhaps traverse parallel universes? Or imagining what it would be like to be human? Or a dog, or another cat? Or maybe another 'owner' to visit For extra food, or hugs? Then to my surprise The cat stood up Looked me straight in the eye Then spoke! "For goodness sake! Can't a cat, simply sit on a mat?" "For no other reason, than to sit?" "All i did, was see this mat and thought, i'll sit on that!"
