Inktober Day 11
Yesterday my critique group, Tuesday’s Children, went out to eat to celebrate our friend Judy’s seventy-ninth birthday. The conversation wandered to Inktober, and my friend, coincidentally named Kitty (who is a major cat lover) suggested (twice) that I needed to draw a cat. I want to lure Kitty to my blog, so here is a kitty for Kitty:

Dogs Would be Better Off if They were More Like Us Cats
In response to the Daily Post prompt: inscrutable.
Why do you beg? Have you no dignity?
If the humans forget to feed you, scold.
And when they do feed you, don’t be in such a hurry to eat.
Turn up your nose. Walk away.
Come back later when no one’s around to watch.
Otherwise they think they’re doing you a favor.
And when they tell you to fetch or roll over or shake
Turn up your nose. Walk away.
Why work so hard to earn their approval?
Humans are inscrutable. Always making demands. Ignore them.
Don’t make such a big deal when they come home.
Turn up your nose. Walk away.
Why weren’t they here waiting on you?
Whose special—them or you?
You have to go out in all kinds of weather.
Why don’t you use the litter box?
Outdoors is best viewed from the windowsill.
