Hypothesis

Hypothesis

A Poem by Nico Reznick
"

In tribute to my feline overlord

"
Sometimes - and especially
when she's giving me
THAT look - I wonder if maybe
I'm an unknowing test subject
in an elaborate psychological experiment
designed and implemented
by my cat.

I ask her, 'But what's the control group?'

She kicks at her own ear with a back leg,
and looks pissed off.
Maybe on account of her itchy ear,
or maybe because
I'm disproving her hypothesis.

haha, never saw this one. I had a couple of cats and they seemed to own me rather than the other way around. Maybe I let them down too. Some of the looks they gave me and the way they ran away may have been the giveaway.
