A Tale of Dogs and Cat

by Moshe Sipper

Once upon a time there was a school for young dogs of fine breeding. The venerable establishment was quite selective, and accepted only male dogs whose noble line could be traced back at least five generations.

One day a cat walked into the school, to the astonishment of all the dogged students and doggy teachers. Nor was it a fine, well-bred cat. Oh no. This particular cat was quite scruffy, of an undefined greyish color, with not a single noble bone in its entire scrawny body, and — to make matters far worse — the cat was … female!

The feline newcomer ambled straight into the headmaster’s office, as if she owned the entire school along with the surrounding grounds, and demanded to be admitted. The highborn headmaster, along with his entire staff, were flabbergasted, for the cat was able to cite rather precisely all the pertinent anti-discrimination laws.

​The kitty was on the verge of being admitted as a student, which would have caused a ruckus to end all ruckuses. However, the headmaster’s mother happened by and without further ado chased the impudent cat away, in an impressive display of feminine doghood.

Moral: Mom can solve everything. Especially if she’s a bitch.
