Animal Crossings

There's a woman at Waterloo station with a cat on a string. And the cat is not best pleased. Actually, he's considerably miffed. If he had the bone structure and flexibility, I'm sure his paws would be crossed. The woman tries to drag him along with her as she leaves but he remains motionless, implacable. Unfortunately for him the floor has been freshly polished, and as fur offers very little resistance, he slides on his ass, like some conveyor belt kitty. Humiliation piled on humiliation. Cats should not have leads! Dogs, ferrets, piglets, even a hamster or guinea pig can be led. A cat? Never! You might as well put a badger on a keyring. It's like the old saying goes: you can lead a cat to water, but he'll piss in it when you get there, and possibly trip you up on the way home.
