Because it's Fannish Haiku Month

[randy_byers]

The sheep mills about,
Nervously waiting to see
What others will do.

The dog barks loudly,
Whining, scratching at the crack,
But the door stays shut

The cat sits calmly,
Quiet, dignified, knowing
The door will open.

Mine don't. Every morning it's skrit-skrat-skrit-skrat on the door, and the wailing and meowing.

Yes, I think Art is revealing an unrealistic pro-cat bias here. Either that or his cats are preternaturally patient.
