Cat Training Secrets

It's no secret:
the moon tugs
from its cosmic outpost
gently on the water of this Earth.

So it makes sense:
cats, who (like everything else)
are 78% water,
are gyroscoped into madness
by the moon's unrelenting orbit.

Still: cats
can be trained (like anything else.)
The water in their blood will cool
until they move very slowly
in straight lines.
