SESSION 22

 

 " Dog vs.Cat "  

    Mister Button bought a dog and Misses Button bought a cat as pets. Unfortunately the animals had to share the room. Their habits were very different: their welcoming habits didn't match, the cat didn't like being licked and the dog wasn't keen on mice. On the other hand, the dog was happy chasing his tail while the cat liked curling up on the bed with a book. The dog preferred chatting with its friends all day long whereas the cat wanted to play games all night long. Even the litter box was an issue. To make the dog mad, the cat ate food with garlic. 

    Dog rubbed balloons all over the carpet and stuck them to the cat. The cat popped the balloons almost giving it a heart atack. The cat filled the dog's bowl with fur balls and during the nap time the dog poured water on the cat. The cat used a dog silent whistle to make it howl in the middle of the night. The pets made a wall in the middle of their  room in order to separate themselves. One day the dog started to miss the cat and remembered their happy memories and the cat started to do the same. All of a sudden they heard a howl from downstairs. Each of them got worried. They could not believe that the Buttons got another pet.

    But it was their baby: crying, howling, pooping and filling the room with bad smell. Hard to live with. They moved out and built their own homes.
